This month’s brainy ballerina book club pick is set against the glitz and glamour of Radio City Music Hall, following 19-year-old Marion Brooks as she lands her first gig as a pro dancer with the legendary Radio City Rockettes.

As she grapples with the intensity of trying to meet the exacting standards of being a Rockette, her personal life is, by contrast, in complete shambles. Not to mention, she finds herself unexpectedly pulled into the search for a madman who has been terrorizing the citizens of NYC for 16 years.

A master of historical fiction, Fiona Davis has meticulously researched every last detail, making the story that much richer. The number of twists and turns she takes us on is mind-boggling. Just when I thought I had the story figured out - I was shocked again. 🤯

Grab your copy and get ready for a page-turner!
