Private investigators Alexandra Neve and Ashford Egan are hired by a distraught mother to find her missing daughter. The mother is certain her talented ballerina wouldn't simply run away like the police have suggested. Neve and Egan soon find they have a serial killer on their hands during one of the coldest winters in England.
Fascinating, intriguing, and filled with twists and turns, Danse Macabre is a fabulous mystery novel. It kept me guessing, and I wasn't quite sure how things were going to turn out. I certainly wasn't expecting that surprise at the end.
Combe is a masterful storyteller, slowly adding pieces to the puzzle that ultimately creates a page-turning novel. I loved the relationship between Neve and Egan as they battle their own demons while solving the case. And though I wouldn't necessarily say it's something you would pick up for a seasonal read, it is set in the weeks leading up to Christmas and New Year's.
There are some gruesome parts, but this novel is so well done I didn't mind them at all. I would like to go back and read the previous novels in this series: Russian Dolls and Ruby Heart.
Murder mysteries don't get better than this one.

I've seen this around and wondered if it was decent. I don't mind the gruesome parts, in thrillers, I welcome it. I think I would like this book. Great review!
