Too many filler-type scenes that lend nothing to the story. There are plenty of opportunities for the main character to have conversations that would have lent much more to the plot. ( )

Loved it! I guessed the killer, but not until very late. I can't wait till the next book, ( )

Hanging by a Hair
By Nancy J. Cohen

This is Book 11 of the Bad Hair Day Mystery Series and is just as much fun to read as Books 1 through 10. I continue to enjoy following Marla as she goes places she should not go and solves murders that she should never have gotten involved with. Hanging by a Hair is no different.
Marla is now married and is even more involved in murders that her husband Dalton is out to solve. This ones hits too close to home – their own neighborhood; the one they just moved to start their married life together.
I am always mystified as to how much Marla tells other people about what is going on. If I was married to her, or even a close friend, I think I would be prone to tell her to shut her mouth and stay out of things that do not involve her. But, if she did this, how would she solve all the mysteries that she gets involved in?
If you have not read any of this series, even though each story is a stand-alone mystery, I highly encourage you to start with Book 1 and read them in order. By doing this you will be able to follow Marla as she moves through life. ( )

Marla’s joyous move to a new house with her husband, Detective Dalton Vail, is marred by their next-door neighbor who erects an illegal fence between their properties. When Dalton reminds the man of the local permitting laws, tempers flare—and worse, the neighbor is found dead the following day. Dismayed when Dalton is removed from the case due to a conflict of interest, Marla decides it’s up to her to find the killer. Can the intrepid hairstylist untangle the clues and pin down the culprit before he strikes again?

With a cast of eccentric characters, a sassy hairdresser sleuth married to a sexy detective, South Florida scenery, and a suspenseful story mixed with humor, Hanging By A Hair is a fun, fast-paced mystery that will make you observe your neighbors more closely. ( )
