About the book
When Carole visits Connies Clip Joint for a quick hair trim, she never imagines she will be caught up in a murder investigation. Unfortunately, in the back room, she discovers Connies assistant, Kyra, strangled by a hairdryer cord. Carole and her friend Jude take it upon themselves to investigate, and suspicion falls on Kyra's boyfriend, Nathan, who has mysteriously disappeared. However, Nathan's family's behavior is also raising eyebrows - although they believe in his innocence, they are suspicious about his whereabouts.
On top of that, Connie's ex-husband Martin, who co-owns a rival hair salon, seems to have a questionable past with his younger employees, including Kyra. Could he have had a motive to silence Kyra and protect his reputation? As Carole and Jude delve deeper into the case, they realize that this mystery is far from simple, and that some people will go to great lengths to cover up their secrets.
