Beauty shows are not usually known for cold-blooded murder, but that's exactly the case when Luxor Products company director Christine Parks is found dead in her hotel room. Suspect number one is Marla's college roommate, Georgia Rogers. Marla sets out to clear Georgia's name, and it's soon apparent that the list of people who hated Christine is longer than a pop diva's hair extensions. Behind the dazzling, high-platform hair tricks of Florida's hottest beauty show lurks a dark heart of corruption, greed, and killer-takes-all ambition. And if Marla isn't careful, she just may end up on the wrong end of a murderer's very skilled hands. “A great book to take to your favorite beach chair!” Nancy Martin, author of the Blackbird Sisters mystery series "A fast paced, entertaining read." Boca Raton News "Plantation author Nancy J. Cohen's series about amateur sleuth and hair salon owner Marla Shore gives readers an inside view of the beauty business while also focusing on South Florida scenery." Sun-Sentinel “All of Cohen’s fast-paced books are full of twists and turns, great characters, and interesting settings...This likable amateur sleuth handles a curling iron and murder clues with equal aplomb in this stylish series.” News Sun “PERISH BY PEDICURE is filled with hair splitting humor, unexpected nail biting twists, and a bad hair week caused by future in-laws while Marla cuts to the roots of the case.” Midwest Book Review
