Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:The national bestselling author who turns "minimum wage into maximum hilarity"( Nancy Martin, author of Murder Melts in Your Mouth) presents a hair-raising murder mystery of do or dye... Helen Hawthorne's latest dead-end job is in Miguel Angel's Fort Lauderdale hair salon, where a trim can cost as much as a car payment and a blowout can wipe you out. But when one of the salon's most famous clients, gossip blogger and cable-TV show host Kingman "King" Oden is murdered at his own wedding, things get a little hairy and King becomes the prime suspect. To save her boss-and her job- Helen is determined to find the murderer. When she finds herself the target of threatening notes, it's more imperative than ever that she figure out who at the wedding was dressed to kill. Review:"Near the start of Viets's hair-raising eighth Dead-End Job mystery (after 2008's Clubbed to Death), Helen Hawthorne, who's working at Miguel Angel's high-end beauty salon in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., assists Miguel in fluffing and buffing Honey, the pregnant fiance of Kingman 'King' Oden, a notorious gossip blogger and cable TV star. After the couple exchange 'I dos' at King's Hendin Island waterfront palace, someone shoves a drunken King into his pool, where he drowns. Miguel becomes a top suspect in King's murder after heroin's found in the hairstylist's makeup case. To help clear Miguel, Helen investigates other suspects, including Honey and the victim's two ex-wives. Meanwhile, Helen must cope with anonymous threats in her mail as well as plan her wedding to her PI boyfriend. Viets keeps the action popping until the cliff-hanging ending, as Helen ignores signs that her best-laid plans have a black hole connected to the past she's been running from for years." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.) Synopsis:The national bestselling author who turns minimum wage into maximum hilarity (Nancy Martin, author of "Murder Melts in Your Mouth") presents a hair-raising murder mystery of do or dye.
