review 1: I have not read any of the previous books in this series but that does not seem to have a negative impact on this one. This book is an odd blend of mystery and paranormal activity. I liked it.Detective Elliott of the Tulsa Police Department hears from an old college friend and things just get weird from there. Disappearances from as far back as the Depression, old Indian burial grounds and the Catholic church all get involved in this atmospheric mystery. We can really feel the confusion and disorientation of Elliott as he gets further and further into the story. We also see the growing relationship with his recently-discovered teenage son.For some mystery fans, this will be too disjointed and have too much spirituality for their taste. For me, it was different enough from ... morethe usual mystery to keep me interested.The ideas and imagination are there, the writing style is a bit stiff at times. I think this author can only get better as this series goes along and I look forward to reading more of this series.
review 2: Footprints of A Dancer is a blend of mystery, romance, with the twist of paranormal which all mixes together for a wonderful read. Detective Kenny Elliot is a warm and believable character. The mystery is well written and held my interest. I would have liked a little more background on Kenny Elliot’s past if this is a stand alone book. If it is part of a series, then I would suggest reading them in time order.Detective Kenny Elliot sees a missing girl from his past college days while jogging. Within a few minutes he receives a phone call requesting a meeting from another friend from his college days. Detective Elliot feels there is a reason for concern when his friend, Gerald Reynolds, fails to meet him at the restaurant as planned.This is the beginning of the mystery and suspense which connects the events from the past with the current happenings in Elliot’s life. As the story progresses and he delves deeper in the secrets from the past, Elliot experiences the altered states of past memories, false memories, and graphic intuition. The themes of archeology, Native American culture and legends are very interesting!Also the current relationship of Kenny, Carmen, and Wayne brings a very warm storyline. A very good mystery. I enjoyed the story and plan to read the other books by author, Bob Avey. less
