Permed to Death

I found this book to be very entertaining and a fast read. "Marla Shore", Nancy Cohen's heroine is absolutely delightful and I can't wait until her next adventure begins.

Fun from beginning to end!

Settle down with this book, an ice tea, and your feet up. You're in for a relaxing and enjoyable read. Marla Shore is so much fun! She keeps you guessing and wanting more adventures to come! It's a great way to spend an afternoon.

Clever, classy sleuth

I loved this book, especially because of the personality of Marla, the hairdresser sleuth. She maintained her sense of humor even though she was a suspect in the crime. Plus she had problems faced by many women - a bothersome ex-husband and days filled with too much to do and not enough time. I didn't suspect the guilty person until very near the end. Ms. Cohen kept me guessing.

Bad Hair Day Never Felt So Good

At last, a mystery with characters I can relate to! Ms. Cohen's salon-owner-turned-sleuth Marla Shore is both realistic and saavy as she pursues the clues after the murder of one of her own clients. Brooding Detective Vale thinks Marla's got something to hide, but the tension between them isn't just about homicide. I really enjoyed this novel, it's a perfect blend of fun and suspense, with a solid plot and great dialogue. I know I'll never look at my hairdresser the same way again!
