TIME TO DANCE, TIME TO DIE: A Paranormal Tale of Devotion, Deceit, and Murder by Leonora N/A (8 Reviews)    Price verified 2 hours ago

I KNEW THE STORIES: MISTS AND FOG SWIRLING IN THE MIRRORS. A SENSE THAT SOMETHING ELSE RESIDED IN THE STUDIO. WHAT WAS IT? IT WAS ALL NONSENSE, I THOUGHT. OR WAS IT? I'd heard the rumors about bizarre phenomena and a disturbing atmosphere at the Romanova Ballet Conservatory. I didn't care. This was the most important day of my life: I was auditioning for Alexandra Romanova, one of the Kirov Ballet's greatest superstars. Every nerve in my body tingled with anticipation. Nothing would stop me, not even the whisper, I need you, when I arrived at the conservatory prepared to dance my heart out. Then, a raging midday storm hit halfway through the class and unleashing its fury, knocking out power, and engulfing the dance studio in pitch-black darkness. While thunder shook the walls and rattled the windows, we stood motionless in the dark, waiting for the gale to pass. Suddenly, a blinding flash of lightning illuminated the room. In the mirror, I saw a girl in a flowing white dance dress, which seemed to blend into the mist swirling around her. On her feet were white pointe shoes, and her porcelain skin was offset by her long, rich brown hair hanging over one shoulder. She glowed with an otherworldly radiance in the eerie light. Her eyes locked on mine. She reached out her right hand toward me. I stared, my mind filled with a thousand questions. Another lightning bolt flashed, and she vanished as fast as she'd appeared, leaving me in a state of bewildered fascination. The lights flicked back on. I glanced around the room. No one in the class was dressed like the girl in the mirror. I shuddered and shook off the strange apparition. I couldn't allow anything to distract me. When the class resumed as if nothing had happened, my focus was laser-sharp, my ambition burning brighter than ever. I had to impress Madame Alex. I would give everything for the chance to dance in her company. The question was, would I dance in her company or die in it? WHAT PARANORMAL MYSTERY ...

Towards the end of a busy day, Inspector Walter Darriteau returns to his workstation. There's a neatly-written pink notelet on his desk. Please ring Mrs Susan Woodhams, and a local number. He picks up the phone and pokes in the digits. After three rings, a woman answers. 'There's something preying on my mind,' she says, 'and it has been for more than twenty years.' 'Go on,' says Walter, imagining it's something and nothing. 'Almost a quarter of a century ago, I murdered my husband.' There was a brief silence before she spoke again. She wants Walter to call at her apartment at 10am the following morning and she'll tell him about it, but gives him a warning. 'Come alone or I won't say a thing.' Walter warns her of the consequences of wasting police time, but seems satisfied and interested, and agrees to call. She coughs up the address and abruptly rings off. Could the woman be serious? Or maybe she's lonely and wants male company. Or could she be setting him up? Either way, Walter will keep the appointment. Later on, he can't stop imagining how she might have done the deed. Poison in the tea? Knife in the back? Pushed him down the stairs. Run him over in the garage? Eaten him? Who knows? It wouldn't be the first time. There were plenty of choices, and whichever it was, it would be fun finding out. The case of "The Missing Man" was open, an Inspector Walter Darriteau novella, and like all the others, set in and around the ancient city of Chester in the north-west of England.
