Cassidi Conti has inherited the Clip and Sip from her uncle.
Her clientele is almost nonexistent and she has to beg people
to come work for her, it has something to do with the place
being a former brothel. So what could possibly be worse than almost no clients?
Well,
one of your few clients dying while getting her hair done and,
even worse, for it to be murder.
Things go from bad to worse as Cassidi's hair stylist is
arrested for the murder. Cassidi must find out the truth
because the cops believe they have their killer. Now Cassidi
must stay alive long enough to get the evidence on the real
killer and not get locked up herself.
DEADLY DYE AND A SOY CHAI is book five in the Danger Cove
series by Traci Andrighetti, and in this book she brings in
fellow writer Elizabeth Ashby. Traci Andrighetti writes funny
cozy mysteries that are serious page turners. You are laughing
before you get past the first sentence and it keeps up
throughout the story. Not to mention the mystery is great, the
characters are quirky and fun, and the setting makes you want
to go visit Danger Cove.
Traci Andrighetti is also kind enough to include the recipes
for adult beverages at the end of her stories. DEADLY DYE AND
A SOY CHAI has a bonus pecan pie recipe. You will want to read
every book in the Danger Cove series. Traci Andrighetti is an
amazing writer and her collaboration with Elizabeth Ashby has
created another great story.
This salon's styles are to die for.
Native Texan Cassidi Conti was expecting to face some
obstacles when she moved to Danger Cove and opened The
Clip and Sip, a hair salon that gives away free drinks.
What she wasn't counting on was a client dying
during a dye job. But when eighty-year-old Margaret
Appleby comes in for her biweekly appointment, that's
exactly what happens: Margaret drinks her usual soy chai,
dozes off under the dryer...and doesn't wake up.
Now The Clip and Sip is under suspicion, clients are
wary, and Cassidi is on a mission to prove that while
her styles may be killer, her employees are innocent!
But as Cassidi wades through the myriad of suspects in
the small, costal town, the killer sets his sights
straight on everyone's favorite stylist. If Cassidi
doesn't watch her back, she may just end up Danger
Cove's latest fashionable victim.
