Dance With Me Spins

Promiscuous Felicity has fallen in lust with Peter. Suddenly, Peter is killed. In a matter of days, Felicity, whose relationship with Peter was based upon three weeks of great sex, finds herself the beneficiary of Peter's worldly goods, the origins of which are cloaked in mystery. Sandwiched between lust and money is plain, possessive Iris, the victim of Peter's unfaithfulness. Louise Doughty propels the reader through a plot that is entertaining yet difficult to grasp. The first quarter of "Dance with Me" reads like a mystery. In the second quarter the reader is led to believe that this is a ghost story. By the third quarter the reader is certain that this book is a psychological thriller. "Dance with Me" proves in the last quarter to be something entirely singular...a narrative with a fragile twist. Louise Doughty has a wicked sense of humor that spins the reader into a story that is constructed on several levels. It is elegantly written and told from the perspective of two very different yet very similar women. If you enjoy a clever plot, revel in a wicked sense of fun, and crave a story with some depth, then try "Dance with Me".
