It's early summer, and while Richard Muir and his dance partner, Karla, are preparing their new choreographic piece, Richard's wife, Amy, is gathering the dance's source materials. Based on folktales and the music of the Blue Ridge Mountains, the production is set to premiere at an old cinema that has been converted to a theater. But when dancer Meredith Fox—Richard's former fiancé—is found dead backstage, Amy is once again propelled into a murder case that threatens the careers and lives of those she loves.

After Amy teams up with Chief Deputy Brad Tucker and the sheriff's department to discover the killer, they find that there's no shortage of suspects: Meredith's wealthy ex-husband, several fellow dancers, a romantically spurned accompanist, and others whom the talented but haughty dancer dismissed or betrayed over the years.

With Richard and Karla's help, and information gleaned from locals who know a wealth of small-town secrets, Amy desperately tries to unveil the killer before the premiere. But she's pursuing a ruthless murderer who's willing to kill again—and who might just be waiting for Amy in the wings.

      Gilbert’s pleasant seventh Blue Ridge Library mystery (after 2021’s Renewed for Murder) finds Amy Muir, the director of the Taylorsford (Va.) Public Library, excited that her husband, Richard, and his dance partner will soon premiere their Folklore Suite at a theater in nearby Smithsburg. Mixing the region’s Blue Ridge Mountain folktales and music to create the dances should be an enjoyable project, but diva Meredith Fox, whose genius for creating enemies rivals her talent for dancing, is making the production a nightmare for everyone, especially her former dance partner and fiancé, Richard. After Amy discovers Meredith’s body backstage, she partners with Chief Deputy Brad Tucker to investigate. Amy digs into the many ways—berating fellow dancers, spurning lovers, and committing darker deeds—Meredith enraged those around her. The dead woman’s possible involvement in the unsolved theft of a valuable painting from a wealthy local family adds suspects to an already busy plot. Indeed, with so many people with so many motives, readers will struggle to keep them all straight. This one’s for fans who have become enamored of a town that evokes Disney’s Main Street, U.S.A. Agent: Frances Black, Literary Counsel.
