The Destruction of a Goddess — Kristine Kathryn Rusch

Vi thought trying to teach complicated choreography to inexperienced middle-aged men made for a bad day.

But when a Portland homicide detective shows up at Vi's dance rehearsal, she quickly realizes that bad dance moves pale in comparison to the scrutiny of an experienced investigator seeking suspects in a murder.

Suddenly, Vi must lay her memories bare to discover a terrible truth and help solve a horrifying crime -- one that might change her life forever.

“Kristine Kathryn Rusch's crime stories are exceptional, both in plot and in style.”
