Curl Up and Die — Christine T. Jorgensen

Among his female clients, Denver's fabulous DeAngelo is hot, both as a hairstylist and love god. And Stella the Stargazer's best friend, Meredith, is caught in the heat. Stella herself was cocooned in a seaweed wrap when DeAngelo placed his tired feet in an electric foot bath and breathed his last. Though suspicious questions are fired her way, it is Meredith who becomes the prime suspect.

Between trying to clear her friend, juggle her astrological advice column, and keep a grip on her own tentative romance with fellow reporter Jason Paul, Stella draws closer to a killer who believes that she would look best as a corpse.
