“Great intrigue. The concept and plot of this whodunit is refreshing. I loved the dancer-turned-detective-out-of-necessity idea. It is also accompanied by a geographic and descriptive guide of Miami (which I found to be something new and different). I thought this was intelligently written. The story moves quickly and takes the reader along for the adventure.”
“A fun, stylish mystery. This was attention grabbing from the start. I liked the fame, show business angle. The detective characters are cool, enchanting, and every one an interesting personality. They feel like real people to me and I love how Drew works with each one of them differently, appearing to encourage their strengths. The mystery kept me guessing till the end. This cosy mystery is now one of my new favorites”
“A great murder mystery. Loved the fact that the chapters were named after famous locations in Miami. It gave the story an adventurous feeling. Each one of the characters are strong and likable, I can definitely relate to Debra. She’s my personality exactly. Drew leads his group through a psychological thrill ride.”
Fame
In the vibrant and exhilarating days of sun-soaked South Beach, a fusion of the famous and ambitious seamlessly intertwine with beach-lovers and enthusiastic party-goers.
As unsuspecting visitors meander past the 1930’s Art Deco hotels on Ocean Drive and stroll down along Lincoln Road, hordes of tourists mingle amidst the captivating street art in Wynwood or sway to Latin rhythms along Collins Avenue…they remain oblivious to the malevolence that casts its ominous shadow over the beach.
Opportunity and temptation abound…
Scandal
Suddenly, South Beach’s biggest scandal is slowly unraveling like a tangled web.
From the stage to the crime scene, Miami’s hottest dance crew are unwittingly thrown into unwanted chaos.
The scandal only becomes bigger when they are accused of being involved in a much bigger plot.
Murder
What if you were accused of murder… not once….but twice? What would YOU do?
Now forced to clear their names, the dancers are led through twists, turns, and unsuspecting outcomes that no one sees coming. They must uncover Miami’s most gruesome murders… or die trying!
“A slick who*dun*it! The story takes you on a roller coaster ride. Miami is the real star here. Beautiful locations that enhance the murderous thrill ride. The finale is grand and opulent. Just what you would expect from an author with a showbiz past. He shows us how fun a great mystery book can be.”
“Ohhh this was different. A wonderfully descriptive, intriguing murder mystery which gives us a peek into the Miami shipping industry, the rich and famous of Miami’s South Beach. Great twists and turns. The premise of Miami’s famous dance group getting pulled into this eerie case and somehow wind up being accused, makes for a super story. Highly recommended.”

“Different. Unique, Great Premise. I loved this mystery. It was like Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys rolled into one exciting read. This would appeal to adults as well as young audiences who love trying to figure out who the murderer is. I loved the cast of characters. I’ve seen several reviews where readers compare themselves to these characters. I would say I’m a combination of Aisha’s movie star qualities and Grace’s empathic nature. This is a great book. I can’t wait for the second one.”
