Hairstylist Marla Shore untangles a knot of secrets when she's suspected of poisoning her client's coffee creamer in this debut case.
Hairstylist Marla Shore is giving grumpy Mrs. Kravitz a perm when her client dies in the shampoo chair. If that isn't enough to give her a bad hair day, handsome Detective Vail suspects Marla of poisoning the woman's coffee creamer. With her reputation at stake, she decides it's up to her to unmask the killer.
While combing the woman's privileged world for clues, Marla uncovers a snarled web of suspects. There's the resentful son excluded from his mother's will, a shady business partner, and a niece who inherits a substantial fortune. But Marla might have to look closer to home, especially when her janitor vanishes without a trace and she discovers one of her stylists is living a lavish lifestyle.
With the detective tightening the net, Marla races to decipher the clues before her own secrets are exposed. If she doesn't solve this case fast, he'll pin her with a motive and lock her away in a place where bad hair days will become permanent.
"Marla the beautician is a delight!"-Tamar Myers, author of the Pennsylvania Dutch Mysteries
