4th in a great series!

The setting is Nationals, when a baby is found abandoned after an ice dancing practice session, and the presumed mother, former ice dancing champion Allison Adler, is discovered hanged in the costume room. It's soon evident that she was murdered, and once again, figure skating researcher Bex Levy finds herself in the middle of a murder mystery. Everyone wants the baby, and as many reasons as there are for the various custody claims, there are even more motives for murder. It seems everyone has a secret, but all secrets are not necessarily lethal ones. In addition to the murder and paternity issues, there's a nice thread involving the young skater from On Thin Ice and his father, who's a possible romantic interest for Bex. The Good: The skating details. There were just enough to ground me in the setting and to make me feel like a bit of an insider, but not enough to be overwhelming. The characters. Bex is a realistic, likeable heroine, and all the secondary characters were well-enough developed that even though there were quite a few of them for a relatively short (233-page) book, I didn't have any trouble distinguishing them. The mystery. There are plenty of suspects and clues, and the resolution is both logical and surprising. The writing. It's clean and engaging, and doesn't get in the way of the story. The Bad: I got a bit confused about one character's secret, between the truth, the spin, and what various characters believed, though I admit that could be because I was reading it way too late at night. The Surprising: The thread about the meaning of fatherhood. It was surprisingly emotional, but not in a maudlin or overdone way. The Verdict: Another exciting episode in a fun, well-written series.
