KILLER KNOTS is the newest installment in Cohen's Bad Hair
Day Mystery Series. This time the story takes place on a
cruise ship. We last met Marla Shore, hair dresser and
salon owner, in the previous book Perish by Pedicure. Marla
is engaged to a cop named Dalton Vail. Dalton's parents
treated the couple and Dalton's daughter Brianna to a
vacation but little does Marla know they plan on coming
along with them on the cruise.
Marla dealt with Dalton's ex in laws in the previous book
and she is rather worried about meeting his parents. To
make matters worse, the seating arrangements for meals on
the cruise was screwed up, so now Marla and Dalton won't
even be sitting with Brianna or her future in laws.
At Marla's table is a group of people who all work in a
museum together. They were also gifted with a free
vacation, but from an unknown benefactor. Marla learns that
an artist that she once posed for has recently died and all
of the museum workers are suspicous about his death. The
artist's last painting was stolen from the museum and
there's even a counterfeit scam artist replacing real works
with the counterfeit ones. How will Marla relax and enjoy
her cruise when there is a mystery to solve?
One by one, several museum workers become hurt and missing.
After putting some clues together, Marla starts to believe
that a killer is onboard the ship and he may be the same
person responsible for the artist's unexplained death.
The missing painting serves as a major clue for Marla to
find the killer. Something or someone is depicted in that
painting and if she could only get her hands on it then she
could catch the killer. But this hard working hairdresser
was not meant for detective work and finds herself in a
dangerous situation. Will Marla be able to catch the killer
before he claims another victim?
KILLER KNOTS is a fun cozy mystery that kept me guessing
until the exciting conclusion. I've never been on a cruise
before but felt like I was on one while reading this
mystery. The day to day activities, shopping, overeating,
overspending, and gambling, were fun to read about and
really made me feel like I had experienced the cruise
myself. I would definitely recommend KILLER KNOTS to cozy
mystery fans that are looking for an enjoyable book to
read.
