Tutu Cute :)

Ok - I just have to start with the fact that I find Jenny T. Partridge irresistable. Her life is a little chaotic, her friends a little diverse, and her life a little messy. She can't hold onto a cell phone to save her life, much less a good man. Somehow things begin to change with the poisoned cookie dough, the death of a dance-mom, and the disappearance of her star student. The supporting cast of characters is comparable to those in the Stephanie Plum series, minus one Grandma Lazur, because who can compare to her. I really enjoyed the plot, and was guessing to end of the who-done-it. I can't wait to catch up with Jenny and her crew again.

What a fun and enjoyable read!

Jenny T. Partridge is the founder of the Jenny T. Partridge Dance Academy. She counts on her annual production of The Nutcracker to keep her Dance Academy afloat. Jenny doesn't count on all the mayhem in her life and the craziness that ensues after a cookie dough fund-raiser that goes horribly wrong. This is a laugh out loud, cheer you up read. The characters are fun and refreshing, Jenny is easy to care about and I hope this is only the beginning of a long running series.

Grinned the entire time I read the book

Jenny T Partridge is a character so endearing, I just wanted to snatch her from the pages. Calamity follows her everywhere and it is a hoot to see her untangle herself, all the while hunky Detective Tate Wilson isn't sure to arrest her or hug her. The US Marshall who pops in and out of the body count is nothing to sneeze at either. I cannot recommend this funny, well written story high enough. Good job!

Jenny T Partridge Will Dance Her Way Into Your Heart!

I love this book! It's fun, endearing, and just a little bit sexy. If you like fun mysteries, get TUTU DEADLY!

Natalie Roberts Nails Deadly Humor

Tutu Deadly is the wonderfully delightful misadventures of dance instructor extraordinaire, Jenny T. Partridge. Jenny T. Partridge has an unreasonable fear of suffocating under the indignant mass of dance mom Emma Andersen, whose daughter isn't center stage quality. In fact, 6-year-old Ella just peed her tights... again. Okay, maybe it's not so unreasonable a fear, and not just of one dance mom. Her most talented student is missing, a dance mom is dead, and dancing instructor Jenny T. Partridge is suspect number one according to Ogden's finest. There is only one short week before the annual Nutcracker. Jenny has no Sugar Plum Fairy, and the nuts are already coming out of the woodwork. Jenny T. Partridge's life is coming unglued. Between Detective Tate Wilson who wants her in prison orange, an empty pantry, and the person who is trying to kill her Jenny's life is not getting any easier. Natalie Roberts has delved into the world of sweat, toe shoes, and glitter to create the delightfully humorous Tutu Deadly. I promise you'll fall in love with Jenny T. Partridge. Natalie Robert's writes delightful deadly humor. Her cast of characters and dialogue that will have you smiling, if not laughing out loud, all the way through to the very end, and begging for the sequel. Read it again, it's just as funny twice. Geez, now I have to wait six months for Tapped Out the next episode of Jenny T. Partridge. But it will be so worth the wait. Calista Cates-Stanturf
