Description
Hairstylist Marla Vail flushes out a killer when murder disrupts her mother’s home renovation plans in this stylish cozy mystery.
When hairstylist and savvy sleuth, Marla Vail, gets a frantic call from her mother that there’s a dead body in her shower, Marla realizes this wasn’t part of the home renovation plans. The victim turns out to be the project manager, who had an untrustworthy reputation in town. Disgruntled customers, unpaid suppliers, and the design company’s staff are among the suspects. Which one of them wanted the foreman to pipe down about their shady dealings?
Meanwhile, the lead investigator sets his sights on Marla’s stepfather, Reed, who’s keeping secrets from his family. Reed has a past connection to the victim and won’t come clean about what he knows. As Marla drills deeper, she’s showered with suspicions, but nobody’s willing to leak any information. She needs to hammer down the prospects, or time will drain away and the murderer will strike again.
To flush out the culprit, Marla taps into her pipeline of resources. Can she assemble the clues and demolish the alibis to nail a killer? Or has someone designed the perfect murder? Recipes Included!
Advance Praise
“It's a pleasure to see a sleuthing story evolve where the protagonist is just as vested in her business, family, and community interactions as she is in her investigation, which embraces all three concerns. Cohen's ability to bring these disparate facets to life in a story that moves between personal concerns and social and community change, weaving the "perfect murder" scenario into these interplays, makes Styled for Murder an intriguing read that returns the Bad Hair Days amateur sleuth to prior fans while making her accessible to new readers. The mix of family, social, and mystery concerns are nicely balanced. This makes for a cozy mystery powered by Marla's special blend of savvy and perceptions as a home remodel project goes seriously awry…” D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review
