Hairstylist Marla Shore gets drawn into a culinary caper that involves murder, sabotage, and fowl play in this delectable cozy mystery.  When hairstylist Marla Shore volunteers for Taste of the World, a fundraiser for her cousin's favorite charity, she quickly discovers that mixing scissors and sauté pans can be a recipe for disaster. First Chef Pierre's rum-soaked Bananas Foster erupts in his face. Then more chefs drop from the roster like overcooked soufflés and the nonprofit's attorney becomes the victim of fowl play. It's clear as a consommé that someone is stirring up trouble. With a cunning killer on the loose, Marla has a lot more to worry about than which canapés her chefs should serve. She teams up with Detective Dalton Vail to untangle the clues. He believes someone from the nonprofit's board of directors might be involved, but Marla has her own suspicions. As she digs deeper, she realizes their upcoming gala could be more perilous than a hot stove. She'd better sift through the suspects to stop the saboteur before the entire event goes up in flames. Nominated for a Reviewer's Choice Award by RT Book Reviews  "e;Curl up with Nancy Cohen's stylishly witty and chillingly suspenseful tale of murder on the Florida coast—Hair Raiser is a cut above."e; Joanne Pence, author of the Angie Amalfi Mysteries "e;Hair Raiser kept me guessing until the very end.

A Thanksgiving family reunion at a haunted Florida resort turns deadly in this spooky cozy mystery. Hairstylist Marla Shore is eager to introduce her fiancé, Detective Dalton Vail, to her extended family over Thanksgiving weekend at historic Sugar Crest Plantation Resort—until she finds her Aunt Polly suffocated in bed. Is it mere coincidence that her aunt's father once owned the estate? According to rumor, he entertained two mysterious visitors who disappeared the same night as his untimely death. Some say their spirits haunt the grounds, which Marla tends to believe after experiencing an icy presence in the rickety hotel elevator. But are ghosts to blame, or is something more sinister at play? With a heated city council meeting looming over the resort's future, tensions are thicker than gravy. Added to the volatile mix are Marla's relatives who have their own secrets to hide. Then another body is found on the nature trail, forcing Marla to intensify her efforts to expose the culprit. She'll have to unravel her family's twisted history even if it means digging up their roots and serving them on a platter to the police. Otherwise, if she allows her family's unsavory past to remain buried, the killer will get away with murder. "e;Dead Roots has all the right ingredients for a great hair day, absolutely fun, winsome characters, a fast‑paced, wonderful mystery read!"e; Heather Graham, NY Times Bestselling Author
