“The Spectacular” by Fiona Davis

Marion, a newly minted Rockette, is living her dream dancing on the stage of the world famous Radio City Music Hall. Much to her father’s disapproval she can’t give up on this once in a lifetime opportunity to have the bright lights in her eyes, wear those dazzling costumes & hear the roar of the applause four shows a day. Marion’s father’s worst fears come to fruition one night when a bomb goes off while Marion is on stage. Unimaginable chaos erupts but when the smoke clears it’s the unthinkable loss that hits Marion to her core. The attack is just the latest explosion set off by “The Big Apple Bomber”, someone that has been terrorizing New York City for over sixteen years. Being one of the few witnesses to have actually seen the bomber’s face, Marion is desperate to help the police, even pointing them towards a friend with the new skill of psychological profiling. When the bomber seems to be escalating Marion realizes she is running out time to prove to everyone that she is not to be underestimated & is willing to lay everything on the line to get justice even the career she has worked so hard for. When I heard what the plot of Fiona Davis’ latest novel would be to say I was giddy is an understatement. His Fic, Dance and Davis?! Sign. Me. Up. As a former dancer, it’s so frustrating seeing the thing you love the most written about incorrectly or just thrown in as an aside but reader let me tell you Davis has knocked this out of the park! If you have ever wondered what it’s like to work in this industry, “The Spectacular” gets it all right. As always, Davis has written a story that’s not to be missed.
