I really enjoyed the originality of this book. It's the first one that I have ever read about a hair stylist and a cop's wife to boot, to solve murder cases. This is my first Nancy J Cohen book that I have read as well. She has been on my list to read for quite some time and I am thrilled that I finally got the chance to do so.

I thought Marla was a very interesting character and I could relate to her on a lot of things. I felt her exhaustion and her determination to solve this case for her Mom and Stepdad's sake. That being said, I did feel that in some cases Marla was a bit too pushy with some of the people that she interviewed. Kind of like a 'bull in a china shop' technique. I know that works for a lot of people but I feel that in some cases a little more honey and less vinegar would also give the desired affect.

In all fairness, since is the first book that I have read of the series, I wasn't sure if she is always this way or if it's more in line with her being flat out exhausted and having more of a shortened temper due to lack of sleep and a never ending list of things to do on top of all of this. So, willing to give her the benefit of the doubt. Overall, I thought it was a very enjoyable book and I was truly happy to see that everything ended up in a happy ending. I love that in my books. Yes, a lot of people say that isn't very realistic, well, that's what I want in my books. Period.

I really enjoyed this book and I thank Netgalley, Nancy J Cohen, and publishers for the ability to read this book. All opinions are my own and are completely honest.

Marla’s On The Case….
The seventeenth (no less) in the Bad Hair Day Mystery series and we find Marla, hairdresser and sometime amateur sleuth, on the receiving end of a call from her mother. The problem? There’s a dead body in her shower. Of course there is! Needless to say those home renovations are not going well. Now that Marla’s on the case, though, things are bound to run smoothly….aren’t they?! Enjoyable and entertaining cosy mystery with a likeable protagonist and a colourful cast of supporting characters. A fun addition to the series.

I enjoyed this book. The baby is too cute. I loved the characters and the story was interesting. I was very surprised by who the killer was. #StyledforMurder #NetGalley
