As if planning her second wedding wasn't stressful enough, hair salon gofer Helen Hawthorne finds herself smack in the middle of yet another murder. The death of a shock-jock style gossip blogger wouldn't be such a tragedy if Helen's boss wasn't suspect number one on the Fort Lauderdale PD's list. Of course she can't resist poking her nose in - that's when the anonymous threats start...
Fluffy and light as a new do, but it suffers a bit from Janet Evanovich envy. Still, not a bad read.

Helen is working in a high end hair salon and planning her wedding to P.I. Phil. When the groom is murdered at an expensive wedding her boss becomes a suspect. Foolish but successful investigation blends with wedding planning. Surprise ending.
Was entertaining, kind of funny moments and an easy read. A little to much information about the clients in the hair salon, made story seem to jump around. Very predictable.
Terrific as usual.
Love Helen!
