Book description
Carole had never had such a bad hair day! The last thing she expected
when she went for a trim at 'Connie's Clip Joint' was to find the body
of Kyra, Connie's assistant, in the back room, strangled. Immediately
involving her friend and neighbour Jude, Carole becomes determined to
investigate the death. Meanwhile Kyra's boyfriend Nathan Locke has
vanished. His family, an eccentric, controlling bunch don't seem overly
concerned. Instead they are bizarrely obsessed with a family board game
which seems to provide a host of clues as to Nathan's whereabouts. Can
Carole and Jude unravel the clues and discover the truth before someone
is falsely accused, or before the killer makes a second deadly move? And
how many haircuts can a middle-aged sleuth have before people become
suspicious?!
Simon Brett worked as a producer in radio and television before
