A Routine Infidelity\, Ted and Miss Marple’s first outing\, was a hit with critics and readers this year and now Elizabeth’s two kickarse heroines are back with more adventures in A Dance With Murder.

While the case is a win for Ted\, it means she’s forced to distance herself from Spike without telling him why. Meanwhile\, talented crafter Cicely is desperate to locate her husband Duncan\, who disappeared while surfing a year ago. As Ted goes undercover via the dating apps in pursuit of suspects\, the stalker ups the ante with a disturbing break-in at Giselle’s home. Meanwhile\, talented crafter Cicely Bunting is desperate to locate her husband\, Duncan\, who disappeared while surfing a year ago. Cicely refuses to believe that he’s dead\, and she’s counting on Ted to find him. As Ted closes in on the stalking culprit and her relationship with Spike nits rock-bottom\, Cicely’s case takes a bizaare twist – and then a murder turns everything upside down… \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Praise for A Routine InfidelityClever plotting\, memorable characters – a delight!
