Perish by Pedicure

Hairdresser Marla Shore is up to her roots in a big¿time beauty show that could make or break her career in this stylish cozy mystery. Salon owner Marla Shore is eager to start her job as assistant hairstylist to a platform artist at a high-ticket beauty show. She's hoping her connection with Luxor Products will advance her career. That is, until company director Christine Parks is found dead in her hotel room, face-down in a foot bath. Suspect number one is Marla's former college roommate, Georgia Rogers. Since Georgia recommended Marla for the glamorous job, the least Marla can do for her in return is to clear her name. As she launches her investigation, Marla learns that everyone who worked with Chris had a reason to hate her. From love affairs to blackmail to bad investment advice, she was a walking Bad Hair Day, and the list of possible suspects is longer than a pop diva's hair extensions. Behind the thumping music and staged-platform hair artistry at South Florida's hottest beauty show, something very ugly is going down. If Marla isn't careful, she may end up on the wrong end of the killer's sharp-edged shears.
