Full of suspense, heart, and intrigue, Kick Ball Slay is the perfect murder mystery with charming characters and a strong start to a new series.
A gifted detective, Evann Myrick is tasked with solving a series of murders connected to the West Coast Swing competition. The murders don't stop because someone is on the case. The killer seems to be one step ahead of Evann no matter what. His work is cut out for him with so many possible suspects.
This is the second book by Doug Dorsey I've read and I enjoyed it as much as The Betrayal despite the different genres. It's a testament to the quality of the writing. I love mysteries that make me think and can only come up with a hunch as to who's done it at best. The dance element also added a lot of character. Top-notch!
