Judith Erwin
Set against the backdrop of glamour, sweat, hard work, and fear, Judith Erwin’s award-winning novels featuring dancers and the ballet world are beloved gems of suspense and romance.
On stage and on screen, they move with beauty, grace, energy, and rhythm… but out of the spotlight, they cope with secrets, fears, love, loss, and second chances.
The writing is gorgeous, and I enjoyed the crisp, excellent dialogues. Judith Erwin knows how to open the hearts of characters to reveal their vulnerability and hidden strengths. So much to enjoy in this novel.

THE SHEPHERD & ASSOCIATES SERIES
He’s a ruggedly handsome cowboy from Oklahoma, part Cherokee, with a law degree from Yale and a resume including years as a Special Agent with the FBI and member of the Bureau’s elite Hostage Rescue Team. He’s smart, intuitive, reads people like a menu, and shoots with surgical precision.
She’s an attractive, fiercely independent attorney from Atlanta with a law degree from Harvard and burned out on family disfunction.
They meet in Capitol Murder when Scarlett Kavanaugh retains Jake Shepherd to investigate the death of her brother-in-law, a U.S. Senator, and clear her estranged twin from suspicion of murder.
While Jake has the social skills of a viper, Scarlett brings compassion to the table as they learn to work together, frequently engaging in sharp banter. It’s common knowledge that Jake won’t win friends with his Simon Cowell style of blunt pronouncements, and he doesn’t care. But if in trouble, he is the man to have on your side.
In Book 2, Faith Lost, they form a team. While Scarlett wants to master private investigator skills and become Jake’s partner, she adamantly rejects the notion of a personal relationship while he equally rejects the idea of her becoming an equal partner in the business. However . . . .
Faith Lost finds the duo racing against the clock to find a missing child, while The Price of Murder casts the team in Florida, investigating an art theft of near priceless masterpieces and the murder of the heiress owner.
