The Charleston Challenge

Oh, her aching feet! Micki Demetrius questions her sanity for agreeing to compete in Serendipity Springs' Annual Charleston Challenge when clearly she and her partner, Guy Whitney, have no chance of winning or even placing. Just ask the reigning champion, who points out their low odds of taking home the trophy every chance she gets. But then, Micki's only dancing in this contest because Guy wouldn't enter without her, and the poor man needs something to occupy his days. Retirement hasn't come easy for him. Not that there's anything special going on between them, as much as Guy would like or his daughter suspects. There isn't, is there? Micki can't wait to put their performance behind them-until one of the top competitors is found dead on the ballroom floor. The sheriff warns Micki and her three mah jongg pals not to play amateur sleuth again, but he can't stop this persistent freelance journalist from pursuing her inside scoop, with a little help from her friends. The trouble with being on the inside, though, is that being so close to her sketchy subjects might just let the killer get dangerously close to her.
