Description
Book #4 in the Figure Skating Mystery series.
Bex Levy returns to the world of competitive figure skating as the researcher for 24/7 Television Network in this fourth novel in the series. This time Bex must find out the mystery behind the infant left in the arena at the Nationals, and why the baby’s mother, Allison Adler, an ice dancer who mysteriously left the rink a year ago, is hanging in the cooler from a sequined belt. But leery from events in the past, Bex is hesitant to follow the clues that will uncover personal secrets….
This series is light reading, with a lot of self-deprecating humor tossed in by the protagonist, Bex Levy. I like the returning characters with all of their quirks, and the light sense of romance that is included, as well as the eye-opening information and the behind-the-scenes look at a popular sport. – Gumshoe Reviews
Funny, outrageous, scandalous and chaotic, Adams’ books are a guilty pleasure – a glimpse into the crazy side of figure-skating rendered with cutting wit and ever more bizarre soap opera turns. The characters are vividly rendered and often larger than life… Overall, a satisfying – and very swift – read. It’s amazing to me that Adams can turn out multiple books with this energy. It must be exhausting to write. – Goodreads
An abandoned baby is found at the ice rink during a practice session for Nationals. The baby’s mother has apparently hanged herself backstage. There are immediately several paternal claimants and when it is found that the young mother was murdered, the plot…as they say… thickens. I did find the inside look into the skating world interesting. Alina Adams, the author has apparently worked as a figure-skating researcher in the past so she writes these stories with her own personal experience behind her. – Out of the Best Books
This is the latest in a series of very satisfying mysteries. Anyone with even a passing interest in the world of competitive figure skating will enjoy this insider’s look…. It’s always a good day when a new Bex Levy mystery arrives, and fans won’t be disappointed with this one. – CA Reviews Enough twists and turns so the reader isn’t 100% sure whodunit. – Ollie’s World of Books
