AUDIO BOOK REVIEW: The Turnout by Megan Abbott

Synopsis
With their long necks and matching buns and pink tights, Dara and Marie
Durant have been dancers since they can remember. Growing up, they were
homeschooled and trained by their glamorous mother, founder of the Durant
School of Dance. After their parents' death in a tragic accident nearly a
dozen years ago, the sisters began running the school together, along with
Charlie, Dara's husband and once their mother's prized student.
Marie, warm and soft,
teaches the younger students; Dara, with her precision, trains the older
ones; and Charlie, sidelined from dancing after years of injuries, rules
over the back office. Circling around one another, the three have
perfected a dance, six days a week, that keeps the studio thriving. But
when a suspicious accident occurs, just at the onset of the school's
annual performance of The Nutcracker—a season of competition, anxiety, and exhilaration—an interloper arrives
and threatens the sisters' delicate balance.
