More sex than gore in this unsavory concoetion of murder in the ballet. Between courses of murder and sudden death, the author serves up a variety of affairs, legal and extra marital and amply detailed closeups, spiced with some excursions into perversion. The search for the murderer (or murderers) is not vital enough to wade through the rest of the story. Skip it.
