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.

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.
