Perish By Pedicure by Nancy Cane

Book Description:
Fire up the flat iron and break out the bullet-proof blow drier, because Marla Shore-the sassy, South Florida beauty salon owner with a knack for fixing hair and finding trouble-is back… Beauty shows are not always known for cold-blooded murder, but that’s exactly the case when Luxor Products company director Christine Parks is found dead in her hotel room-facedown in a foot bath. It doesn’t take long into Marla’s investigation to discover that everyone who worked with Christine had a reason to hate her. From serial cheating to indulging in blackmail and 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. And when a model with top-secret information for Marla turns up dead, things go from bad to worse in a hurry. Behind the thumping house music and dazzling, high-platform hair tricks of Florida’s hottest beauty show, something very ugly is going down, something that goes beyond polish and style to the killer-takes-all ambition of the beauty biz. If Marla isn’t careful, she just may end up on the wrong end of a murderer’s very skillful hands… “Cohen fashions her Bad Hair Day series with plenty of humor, snappy repartee and even a healthy helping of current events.”
