Synopsis

Hairstylist sleuth Marla Shore goes undercover in a hair-brained scheme to catch a killer in this adventurous cozy mystery. In a story braided with unexpected twists and curls, salon owner Marla Shore takes on a role as nurse’s aide for wealthy Miriam Pearl. While Marla snoops into the elderly matriarch’s affairs, her boyfriend, Detective Dalton Vail, is afraid that the only affair she’ll snag is with her ex-spouse, Stan. Juggling work at her salon, crime solving, and two amorously inclined males, Marla fights a race against time to save Stan before the dashing detective nails him for murder.Winner of the RONE Award from InD'Tale Magazine“Ms. Cohen's plot has more twists than a French braid, and Marla is a shear delight.” Joanne Fluke, author of the Hannah Swensen mysteries“In Nancy J. Cohen’s fourth bubbly Bad Hair Day mystery, Florida hairdresser Marla Shore agrees to help her snake of an ex‑husband, Stan Kaufman, who's been arrested for the murder of his third wife, Kimberly, find the real killer.” Publishers Weekly “This follow‑up to Murder by Manicure moves right along and will make good reading for the holidays.” Library Journal “In Body Wave, Marla faces more shades of guilt and malice than she has colors of nail polish in her salon—and exposes herself to a hidden killer who may decide that eliminating Marla is a permanent solution for getting away with murder.” Barnes & Noble Ransom Notes

I enjoyed this fourth book in the Bad Hair Day series. I find Marla's character charming, but I agree with some other readers that she reads older than she is supposed to be, but that doesn't take away any from my enjoyment.
