“A supernatural whodunit with sharp prose and a wholly inventive premise. Gritty, unpredictable, suspenseful, with wry humor woven throughout, this creative mash-up of cozy mystery and vampire fiction excels at both genres.” The Independent Review of Books
If only hunting down a killer was as easy as cutting the perfect style…
Middle-aged hairdresser Bonnie Ray recently made a fresh start in the quaint English town of Darkcliff, where humans and vampires coexist. She isn’t nervous about her new life at all. Really, she’s not. And when she’s asked to do the hair backstage at the local fashion competition, it sounds like the perfect opportunity to make friends and build her business.
Her plans go horribly wrong when a murder is committed after the competition’s unpopular result – and the evidence points to her. With clients canceling in droves, the town abuzz with gossip, and her livelihood at stake, she resolves to clear her name, save her salon, and catch the killer.
Knowing that she’s better with scissors than she is at sleuthing, Bonnie has a few things going for her – a knowledge of human nature and an ability to get people to open up.
But with the suspicions of the police intensifying, a rival vampire hairdresser on the prowl, and her savings rapidly running out as she ricochets deeper into disaster – will that be enough?
