Jeanie is on her hen night and her biggest worry is her My Little Pony outfit and her fiance’s increasing emotional distance. Until the hens happen upon a dead body in the nightclub and decide to find the killer…
Murder on the Dancefloor is the second book in a series of murder mysteries. I have not read the first book and there are several mentions to events in the last book but no major spoilers.
Jeanie is on her hen night with her mum, 4 sisters and 2 best friends. She argues with a young woman and later Talia is found dead. The women decide to find out the truth and catch the killer following their success with a previous murder case.
I had not read the first book so I felt a little overwhelmed by the range of main characters at first. The plot direction helped to fix the characters in my mind and allowed me to enjoy the book more as it progressed.
As well as the murder mystery, there is Jeanie’s exploration of Tan’s odd behaviour which make threaten their wedding. She also needs to locate lost wedding rings which is a hugely emotional element as they were her late father’s.
I really enjoyed the lighthearted tone and comedic elements to the narrative. The relationships had nuances which made the characters shine from the pages, adding an authenticity and relatability to them.
Murder on the Dancefloor is an enjoyable murder mystery and I want to catch up with the first book.
Murder on the Dancefloor
They DID promise her a killer hen weekend…
Jeanie’s getting married, and – despite her completely impossible four sisters – her best friends Clio and Amber are determined to give her a bachelorette weekend to remember. They’re in matching pink T-shirts and the drinks are flowing…
But the night turns out to be unforgettable for all the wrong reasons when a girl turns up dead on the dancefloor. And – even though she’s a stranger – she is wearing one of Jeanie’s hen T-shirts.
Who is she? And why are the police convinced that the hens are involved? Can the newly-formed Bad Girls Detective Agency solve the murder? And in time to get Jeanie up the aisle?
Unputdownable mystery set on the English coast – perfect for fans of The Thursday Murder Club, Bad Sisters and How to Kill Your Family.
