Deadly Dancing at the Seaview Hotel

As an avid listener of contemporary cozy mysteries, 'Deadly Dancing at the Seaview Hotel' by Glenda Young was undoubtedly a winner for me. Young's fourth outing for DI Harry is charming, clever, and perfectly executed within its genre format. Set in a picturesque coastal hotel, the book cleverly intertwines the art of dance with a baffling murder that rocks the community. Young's knack for crafting endearing and quirky characters shines through, particularly the central detective and the delightful, grandmother-author narrator whose voice adds a comforting layer. The plot unfolds at a steady, satisfying pace, balancing genuine suspense with moments of gentle humour. My highlight was the seamless narration by Colleen Prendergast, who breathes life into the dialogue and imbues each character with subtle personality traits, making the audio experience incredibly immersive and enjoyable, feeling like I was right there in Seaview solving the mystery piece by piece alongside the cast.
