Synopsis: There’s no pussy-footing around murder . . .

It’s never too late to kick up your heels. Just ask Tina, Janice, Pat, Mary Louise, and Gini–aka the Happy Hoofers. After posting a video of their tap-dancing routine on the Internet, the leggy ladies find themselves booked to perform on a Russian river cruise up the Volga from Moscow to St. Petersburg.

But when murder cuts in, the five fabulous friends find it’s not so easy to tap their troubles away. A crew member has been killed, and a passenger is missing. With a killer on board, the Hoofers need to watch their step. But with a little fancy footwork, these soft-shoe sleuths may get a leg up on a killer who’s cruising for a bruising. . .

My review: This was a fun new series. I really enjoyed the characters in this book, they were fun. What fun it would be to be a part of a group of friends like this. How exciting for them that they got to go on a cruise to perform but all does not turn out well when a crew member turns up dead and a passenger missing. So leave to the Happy Hoofers to try and solve this mystery. With all the twists and turns this book was fast paced and one you will not want to put down. I like the part that this took place on a cruise ship and not just in town so you got to go on a little adventure. I look forward to the next book in this series to see where the Happy Hoofers are off to next.
