Product Description
From the Inside Flap
When the prom queen is found brutally murdered, Sheriff Sharyn Howard recalls that a similar murder occurred on the night of her prom ten years ago. Her father was the sheriff of Diamond Springs and the man he sent to prison for the murder now sits on death row awaiting his execution. But, Sharyn's convinced there are too many similarities between the two murders and that the true killer is still at large.
Her move to reopen the first case pits her against the community and her mother, who feels she'll destroy her father's reputation in the process. But, Sharyn is determined to discover the truth and catch the real killer before he can strike again.

Hard to put down until the last page is turned!, July 5 2000
By Midwest Book Review - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Last Dance (Hardcover)
Prom night is a special night in every teenager's life; it is a night that should be remembered for the rest of your life. In a way it signifies you are on the way to becoming an adult and growing up. But unfortunately, tragedies occasionally are drawn to nights like these and when that happens it changes everyone's life and not always for the better. Sharyn Howard is following the family tradition, Law Enforcement. Her grandfather was the Sheriff of Diamond Springs, North Carolina and her father had replaced him. Now she has replaced her father becoming the first woman ever elected here for sheriff, unfortunately she had replaced her father because he was shot and killed. Now this small town has once again been shaken to the very foundations. Another young girl has been killed on prom night. The last time was exactly ten years ago at Sharyn's own prom, Leila Bentley was killed in almost the exact same manner. Sharyn isn't sure what is going on, but she has a gut feeling that this was the work of the same person. But to act on that would mean that her father somehow arrested and the town convicted the wrong man and the killer had been here all this time. Now Sharyn must decide if she is going to go against not just her mother and closest friends, but the entire town and reopen the old case to try and solve this one. Authors Joyce and Jim Lavene have created a book that is well worth the money to get it. Last Dance flows smoothly, fast paced with just the right touch. Although there is one section that could have been spread out more, with a smaller leap to the conclusion, it is still a book that is hard to put down and you won't want to put down until the last page is turned.Tracy Eastgate Reviewer

Good mystery., Jun 20 2000
By Huntress Reviews - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Last Dance (Hardcover)
This one is a great mystery. However, there were parts, in my opinion, that were not detailed enough. It will grab the reader's attention quickly and hold onto it through out the book and is well written.
Yes, this one is worth you money!
