"Dream Dancing" shows the grittier side of the adult entertainment industry. Abby Broughton got into exotic dancing to help support a useless, drug-addicted boyfriend in Las Vegas Las Vegas (läs vā`gəs), city (1990 pop. 258,295), seat of Clark co., S Nev.; inc. 1911.

When she meets Mark Winston, who seems very stable, they fall fast for each other. Looking to escape their own loneliness, they marry within eight weeks of meeting.

 at the club have their own stories; some are in the business to make quick money to support their habits. Others are in it to get the attention that they can't get at home. It is not an easy life for any of the women. It gets harder when people who work at the clubs start get killed. Abby and Mark develop their own suspicions about each other. When a security guard named Jake Hersh starts investigating, he further increases Mark's suspicions about Abby. Meanwhile, people that she knows are still being murdered. Abby has to go back into her past to do some healing before she can be in a healthy relationship.

"Dream Dancing" really takes a hard look at the world of adult entertainment. It is very realistic. Because of the topic, I was expecting a trashy novel. It isn't at all. It is very well written and thought out. J.J. Lair does an excellent job of character development. He delves Delves is a village in County Durham, in England. It is situated a short distance to the south of Consett.  deeply into the reasons why these women end up in the business. He also did a great job with the mystery. He definitely has you convinced that you know who the murderer is, and then throws you for a loop, when you discover that you are wrong. I highly recommend this novel.
