Make an appointment for intrigue at Reyn Marten Sawyer's hair salon! Outrageous, flirtatious, and as colorful as a magenta mohawk, Reyn tracks twisted crimes, untangles tight knots, and never, ever leaves loose ends. Someone clearly meant business when they targeted San Antonio's hair salon king, Ricardo, who was fatally stabbed with a one-of-a-kind weapon: a sharp plastic hair pick. Reyn had loaned Ricardo the tool -- and now she's not only mourning her friend and mentor's murder: she's also a suspect. And in the eyes of sexy detective Jackson Scythe, she's one alluring stylist who should drop her insistent sleuthing like a hot roller. But Reyn's wound a little too tight to stay out of the thick of things, including teasing and taming the stubbornly single Scythe while taking short cuts to catch a killer -- and uncovering the past of a dead man, whose secrets will make Reyn's hair curl....… (meer)

The Brush-Off and Sprayed Stiff, the second of the Hair-raising mysteries, are screamingly funny. "Cozies" are becoming increasingly popular, but they come in all shapes and sizes. Some are serious, these are definitely not. [return][return]Having an amateur sleuth who is a hairstylist works really well for Bradley for a number of reasons: hair stylists interact with people from all walks of life, the "salon culture" is a fun world to draw, and stylists have a fair amount of flexibility as they can often work in other people's homes or on unusual schedules. I am really hoping that Bradley writes more about these engaging characters and their unusual exploits. [return][return]Lots of people I see are comparing these to Evanovich...some negatively. While I do love Stephanie Plum, I think it's harsh to say that anyone who's writing humorous amateur sleuth fiction is imitating Evanovich. Reyn is very, very different from Stephanie Plum and deserves to be evaluated on her own instead of in comparison. (

I absolutely LOVE this book! It is very dangerous to read this book in public since you won't be able to stop from laughing out loud! XXD
