Helen Hawthorne has had her fair share of dead-end jobs.
From country clubs to bridal salons, she's done it all and
then some. The plethora of experiences may not have
enhanced her bank account, but with each new job comes an
adventure not weighted in gold. Perhaps one day she'll
score big. Until then, she thankfully enjoys whatever life
throws her way.
Helen's latest position has landed her in Ft. Lauderdale's
trendiest salon as the girl Friday to the suave celebrity
stylist, Miguel Angel. From starlets to sophisticated
socialites, Miguel's chair is by far the hottest seat in
town. Even the fiancée to the infamous gossip blogger King
Oden frequents his salon. Without a doubt, this chic
establishment is the place to be and be seen.
Unexpectedly, Miguel's fame and good fortune takes a sudden
nosedive when the notorious King is found dead at his own
wedding reception. To make matters worse, Miguel's public
sparring with the now deceased groom puts him at the top of
the list as a likely suspect. Just when Helen thought she
had found the perfect job, her primo position seems to be
heading quickly down the drain.
Realizing it's up to her to save her job as well as her
boss, Helen begins her own investigation into this
perplexing murder case. With the help of her fiancée, the
clues start stacking up, putting the murderer on high
alert. Will Helen be able to clear Miguel's name or will
she become the next victim found floating in the pool?

quirky characters and witty dialogue, she creates yet
another delightful cozy mystery with just the right amount
of suspense and humor. Funny, light-hearted, and intriguing...

Kingman “King” Oden is murdered at his own wedding,
things
get a little hairy and King becomes the prime suspect. To
