Teased to Death

It's all fun and dance, until a body turns up. When Misty Newman returned home to rural Minnesota, the residents of Little Lake were surprised-and not in a good way. Having skipped town ten years before with a scholarship in hand and the shiniest of futures, Misty took a nasty fall from grace when she dropped out of college to become a Hollywood burlesque dancer. Though she didn't hope for a welcome home parade or an invitation to join the Monday night knitting club, Misty never expected to become the number one suspect in a murder case However when her landlord is found strangled by her fishnet stockings, things don't look good for Misty. To make matters worse, the town sheriff-Misty's ex-almost-fianc -happens to agree. All Misty wants is to fix up her grandmother's cozy house, revive her struggling dance studio, and rekindle the old friendships she's neglected...but if Misty doesn't find out who's responsible for the death soon, she may just be next on the killer's list "Gina LaManna had me laughing out loud from the very first page. Misty Newman is one sassy, sexy, smart heroine, and I can't wait to read more of her " -Gemma Halliday New York Times bestselling mystery author
