An omnibus of novels by Alison Stone
This bundle includes all 3 books in the Jayne Murphy Mystery Series.
Pointe and Shoot (Book 1):
The dance world can be ruthless—even deadly.
Jayne Murphy has always prioritized her family above all else. That's why she sacrificed her dream of joining the police force to manage her aging mother's dance studio.
When one of the studio's most talented dance instructors dies in a car crash, Jayne suspects foul play. Determined to uncover the truth, she teams up with Officer Danny Nolan, her brother Patrick's best friend and partner who tragically lost his life in the line of duty. Haunted by Patrick's death, Danny begins to question his own career as a cop.
As Jayne delves deeper, a list of suspects emerges, including the victim's possessive ex-boyfriend and a rival from the cutthroat dance world. The case reignites Jayne's passion for police work, and sparks fly between her and Danny, who also finds a renewed sense of purpose. As long as Jayne can stay out of harm's way, she and Danny might have a chance at a second shot���both in their careers and with each other.
Final Curtain (Book 2):
The stage is set for murder.
Jayne Murphy knew her first case as a private investigator was going to be tough, but she never expected to become a witness to a gruesome murder. When a long-time family friend falls from high above the stage during a production of a holiday favorite, The Nutcracker, Jayne is the only one who suspects foul play.
Can she navigate the perils of an investigation that puts her in the crosshairs of a ruthless villain while also helping her aging mother run the dance studio? It's enough to make Jayne question her choices, but she's spent a lifetime feeling obligated to do the right thing. Why stop now?
If Jayne can't become a cop, she'll solve mysteries on her own terms.
Corpse de Ballet (Book 3):
Jayne Murphy is at it again.
As the dance competition season kicks off, a snowstorm strands Jayne and her dancers at a convention. When the beloved emcee is found dead, Jayne refuses to dismiss it as an accident like the local police had. Armed with her newly refined investigative skills and aided by her on-again, off-again police officer boyfriend, Danny Nolan, Jayne is determined to uncover the truth behind Dale Diamond's untimely demise. The deeper she digs, the more she unearths a sinister secret capable of ruining lives, putting Jayne squarely in the sights of those desperate to keep it hidden.
Meanwhile, rumors swirl back home that Jayne's unstable neighbor has been released on bail. Could this explain her constant sense of being watched? Or has her relentless pursuit of the truth exposed her to an enigmatic adversary willing to end her fledgling career as a private investigator?
Jayne understands that if she can't become a police officer, she'll forge her own path. But can she unravel this mystery before more lives are lost?
