Deadly Dance Lessons: A Senior Sleuths Cozy Mystery Series
Deadly Dance Lessons
When a handsome ballroom instructor arrives at Sunset Manor promising to teach residents the foxtrot, retired principal Violet Hartwell smells trouble faster than Frank Morrison can rev up his souped-up mobility scooter. Ricardo Suave (clearly a stage name) is too charming, too interested in residents' valuables, and far too evasive about his background for comfort.
But before the Sunset Manor Detective Agency can waltz their way through a proper investigation, their dance lesson turns deadly. The disco ball comes crashing down in a shower of mirror fragments and twisted metal—and Ricardo's perfectly timed dodge suggests this was no accident.
Armed with Violet's vintage leather investigation kit, Frank's questionable DJ equipment, and more determination than sense, the team must catch a killer before he strikes again. But between sabotaged ceiling fixtures, insurance fraud schemes, and the upcoming "Dancing with the Staff" competition, they're going to need all their detective skills—and some serious dance moves—to survive.
Because at Sunset Manor, even recreational activities can be lethal.
Will the detective agency solve the case in time for the competition, or will their final dance be with death itself?

I have thoroughly enjoyed the antics of the Sunset Manor Geriatric Detective group. During this adventure, the manor has a dancing instructor trying to teach elderly people how to dance, while trying to get information about their financial status and any jewelry they might have. Thieves , for the most part don't seem to have any conscience at all. I definitely recommend this adventure and any others I have read, so far.

sixth in a fun series
Violet and her group of residents become suspicious of the new dance instructor. As they start to look into him they find a hidden identity and other suspicious things. The story moves quickly with a fun ending.
