Description
Boomtown San Diego, in 1888, erupts in murder. Retired marshal and hero of the O.K. Corral Wyatt Earp is involved.
What's really going on? Award-winning, best-selling mystery author James Musgrave takes issues from the present and turns them into ingenious puzzles for listeners to solve. In the 19th century, the same human foibles existed, but the problems happened at a much slower pace.
In The Dancing Murders, Musgrave turns four suspects over to the listener to choose a murderer. Wyatt Earp, the hero of the O. K. Corral shoot-out in Tombstone, Arizona, is charged with the first-degree murder. Series attorney and detective Clara Shortridge Foltz takes the case to defend him as she’s moved to the San Diego boomtown, and she needs the money. The mystery soon escalates into a deep and increasingly frightening exploration into sex-trafficking, terrorism, mystical kabbalah, tantric sex, sadomasochism, and the rivalry of three Stingaree bordello madams, who each has a secret.
With an extremely unique frame, Musgrave allows the listener to first explore the suspects and the issues through five chapters of prologue. Then, in a very Kurosawa-type twist, as in Rashomon, the listener gets to explore the psyches of the four main suspects in chronological progression. However, deep within these characters, in their first-person narratives, lies the underlying truth of this entire mystery and how it will explode into the plot for the sixth mystery in this popular series.
