“Death Dance” by Linda Fairstein is an interesting tale of greed and murder. Set at the Met in New York, the author goes into great detail about the old theaters, ballet, and the theater business in general. I found it very interesting though I’m not a regular patron of the arts. It isn’t that I don’t find the many performances fascinating and fanciful – it is more that I don’t have the time or money to go.
Though slow in spots, I got through the book in about ten hours with constant interruptions. Does it make me want to run out to grab another book authored by Ms. Fairstein? Not really – it didn’t kindle my desire to know more. Should I run across a book of hers and have nothing else to do then of course I would read it. However, she won’t make my permanent collection…once I start a permanent collection again. 
I grieve for my book collection that I had to give away…not once but twice now. It is my simple prayer that I find a permanent home to settle into that has a library so I can rebuild my permanent collection…permanently.
