Killer Cuts — Elaine Viets

Living life on the lam -- and working wherever she can find a paycheck -- Helen Hawthorne has a knack for keeping a low profile. Currently she's mixing pay cuts with haircuts, working at a chic salon as gofer for a famous stylist who's a passionate believer in do or die.

Hair today...gone tomorrow. Helen's latest gig is working 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 a famous husband of one of the salon's clients is murdered at their wedding reception, things get a little hairy.

The salon gets tangled up in negative publicity when Miguel becomes a suspect, but he lies low by dressing in drag. Meanwhile, Helen is determined to find the murderer, who also favors spiked heels. When she starts getting threatening notes, she needs to cut to the chase and figure out who at the wedding was dressed to kill.
