This is the third book in the “Figure Skating Mystery” series featuring Bex Levy. Bex is a researcher for the skating competition broadcasts on the “24/7” sports TV network. It is her job to have any/all possible information about every aspect of the sport and the competitors available to the “on air” commentators during an event. It has also become her job to solve the various crimes that crop up along the way. As you can imagine, the “over-the-top” personalities in the figure skating universe lend themselves equally to be victim, suspect, or murderer. The author has actually worked as a skating researcher, so the details of a training/competition environment are (unusually) accurate. (Something I found refreshing and enjoyable in a “skating novel”.) And I laughed out loud more than once at the dry, witty humor.
