Tressed to Kill

First in the brand-new Southern Beauty Shop mystery series

St. Elizabeth, Georgia, offers charm, Southern hospitality-and, most recently, murder. When hairdresser Grace Terhune and her mother, Violetta, gussy up all the high-society ladies attending the town meeting, they find their snobbiest client dead. The police believe the mother-daughter duo did her in. But before things get snarled beyond repair, Grace sets out to clear their names.Lila Dare is the well-respected author of the Southern Beauty Shop mystery series. Dare was born in Georgia and has lived in Alabama, Mississippi, and Virginia, as well as some bastions of Yankee culture. Although Dare has never worked as a hair stylist, she spends plenty of time in salons. She currently lives west of the Mississippi with her husband, two daughters and dog, and misses Southern manners and cooking, but not the humidity.
