What this book is about

Darcy Scott and Erin Kelley agree to answer personal ads for a friend's documentary project about modern dating. Then Erin's body is found with a dancing shoe that belongs to a serial killer's previous victim. As Darcy searches for Erin's killer, she realizes the murderer is using the personal ads to select victims — and she may have already met him. Loves Music, Loves to Dance is a Mary Higgins Clark standalone — tightly plotted; the personal ad premise was prescient in 1991.
