Please help me find this book.....

Is it "Dark Rythms: The Deadly Dance Of Katrina"?

"Prance With The Devil" by P.J. Vernon?

Corpses de Ballet?

Death Dancer by Tara Lain

[Quote] Book overview

[Quote] DEATH DANCER is a romantic suspense, total opposites attract, creepy serial killer, sexy tatted bad boy, men-in- tights, MM romance – with dessert.

^^^ Sorry, Death Dancer by Tara Lain was first published in November 2016 (just over 8 years ago, not 20, as OP mentioned).

But you might still enjoy it.

R4 this comes closest t o the one I was thinking about. Thanks. I will check it out. As I recall, mine may have had a Russian dancer and a British Detective. I think. And he didn't just kill other dancers. He killed random people.

This is probably not the novel you're trying to find, but there are some similarities to the plot you describe. "Ballet!" by Tom Murphy (1978).
