Dead Man Dancing: A Novel by John Galligan
4.0
Dead Man Dancing is a completely gripping sequel to Bad Axe County. Sheriff Heidi Kick is back and just as brilliant as before.
There is always a fear with a sequel, that it will never quite live up to its predecessor. Rest assured friends, this is not a problem for Galligan. This book had my heartbeat pounding (yes, really) from the very beginning and I didn't put it down until I had turned the very last page. Fair warning though, this book is not for the faint of heart, there is extreme violence, racism and sexism throughout.
But, oh my, is it worth it.
Check out the synopsis below:
It’s a time for celebration in Bad Axe County as the town gathers for the annual Syttende Mai—or Norwegian Independence Day—festival. During this rollicking family-oriented event filled with dancing and food, Sheriff Heidi Kick discovers a dark and shocking event—a migrant worker has been savagely beaten but refuses to explain what happened. Then, a sudden murder of a band member shatters the festival. Something is deeply wrong in Bad Axe County.
