I found "Last Dance" by Jim and Joyce Lavene to be a fairly good mystery, although there was not a whole lot of character development except in the main protagonist, Sharyn Howard, the "new" sheriff of Diamond Springs, NC. She has hard legacy to live up to since her father and grandfather were both sheriff of the small town before her.

Things heat up when the body of a popular and pretty high school senior is found on the high school parking lot after the prom. The manner of death and the way the body is left are very similar to a 10-year-old case that Sharyn's father handled and sent a man to death row for committing.

A good mystery that is a bit predictable, but enjoyable nonetheless. I'll read more in this series, The Sharyn Howard Mystery series.
