A Body to Dye For

4 stars
Stan is a hairdresser. When a man he meets and is interested in is murdered, he is put on the suspect list. Stan is determined to clear his good name, so he runs around town chasing down leads and interviewing his suspects. Most of the time he is at odds with the police force, although he does end up sort of working with them. Intrigue abounds, as more people are killed and disappear, but Stan is on the case.

I enjoyed this. Stan was a little pushy on the detective front, and definitely had some moments where he didn't act as smart as he was. The mystery was pretty good. Normally I can spot the culprit by the second time I meet them, but I just had to follow the clues as interpreted by Stan when they were interpreted by Stan. show more Because of the plotting, I was not rolling my eyes about how obvious the murder was and why couldn't the main character and/or police just KNOW? show less

Stan Kraychik is a very swanky gay hairdresser in Boston. I don't remember much of the plot, but he stumbles on a mystery and runs around Boston trying to solve it. The dialogue was witty; the plot engaging enough to finish, but it's a read it once and pass it on book.

Good and fun murder mystery. You've gotta love Stan and Nicole!

A very fun mystery with a very likable detective.

Der erste Auftritt vom welttuntigsten Friseur aus Boston, der so ganz nebenbei Morde aufzuklären hat und sich natürlich vom bulligen Kommissar bezirzen lässt.
