Shear Murder

Marla Shore had a lot in her hands in the latest installment in the Bad Hair Day series in Shear Murder. While she planned her wedding to Dalton, opened a day spa, and kept  her salon busy with customers, she had gotten a full schedule ahead of her. When she attended her friend's wedding, she discovered a new murder and was on the case. With not much time on her hands, we'll see how she was devoted to Dalton and Brianna and trying not to stay out of trouble. She was really up to her ears on this drama, when she discovered family secrets and other surprises in the background. The closer she was to the truth, the more threatening danger looms to her and her business. In the end, it was s a close call between life and death for her. Lots of surprises in store this one for sure.

This was another great mystery with a whole lot going on. I loved the flower arrangements in the storyline, including the birds of paradise. It was so nice and romantic for Dalton and Marla's interfaith marriage to take place, while another one happened before that.  I loved her friends and colleagues in this cozy mystery series who help Marla out. I believe Marla had met her match with Dalton.

Permed to Death

If you love fresh and entertaining cozies, this one is for you. Nancy Cohen's Permed to Death, the first book in the Bad Hair Day Mystery series, took place in Plantation, Florida. We were introduced to Marla Shore and her fellow colleagues at her salon. They were eccentric and had their own shares. And when a fellow customer died in their salon, it made Marla curious. There was an instant connection between Marla, a Jewish divorcee, and Detective Vail, a handsome detective on the case, who wasn't  so Jewish. We also meet her family and friends. There was a lot of drama in her own life, and root for Marla, who won't back down on preserving her reputation and her salon. This was a good page-turner. Marla's not just an ordinary heroine who has some flair in this series.

I loved the location in Plantation Florida and the hair salon setting. That set it apart from the other cozy mysteries out there. I enjoyed Marla and her gang at the salon. It's so rare to see a Jewish character, except for the Faye Kellerman Peter Decker/Rina Lazarus series. And Detective Vail wasn't bad himself for a piece of eye-candy. Their connection had good chemistry together. We care about Marla's family as well and why she wanted to clear her name.
