Dead Girls Dancing: a darkly original, gripping thriller from the unmissable Katie Maguire series in 2026

Bloomsbury presents Dead Girls Dancing by Graham Masterton, read by Lucianne McEvoy.

A tragic accident – or a vicious attack?

In the middle of winter, a fire blazes through a dance studio. Seventeen young dancers die, their promising careers cut short by a tragic accident. But where others see tragedy, DCI Katie Maguire sees murder.

This is not the first fire to sweep through Cork. And in one recent case, the victims were dead before the fire was lit. Katie Maguire is determined to see justice done, unaware she's about to face her most chilling killer yet...

Perfect for fans of Peter James, CJ Tudor and Chris Carter, Dead Girls Dancing is part of the darkly original million-copy-bestselling DS Katie Maguire thriller series, which can be read in any order.
