Summary: Disappointing
Comment: I love mysteries especially those set in quirky situations, so I picked up Permed To Death by Nancy Cohen with much anticipation.
I found this book disappointing from the very beginning. The dialog was simplistic and predictable as was the "whodunit". The characters were underdeveloped and not used to their full potential within the story. A few characters showed up with no introduction or background until later in the book or not at all, leaving me wondering just who they were and what their significance was to the storyline.
I purchased this book and Ms. Cohens next book in the series at the same time but after laboring through this one I think I'll pass on the second and cut my losses.

Summary: Great Escape!
Comment: "Permed to Death" by Nancy J Cohen provided me with the perfect escape from daily doldrums.
Marla Shore, the owner of the local beauty salon in South Florida, made a believable, nosey butt-inski! Her eclectic employees were true to form for any beauty salon.
Snappy dialog and lots of action.
I'm looking forward to the next Marla Shore mystery!

Summary: Get this Author An Editor!
Comment: This book sounded absolutely adorable with its murder occurring in the beauty shop. Some days when our hair doesn't come out looking so hot, I'm sure murder is on the mind of some of the patrons. Marla (the principal character) sounded like someone we'd want to know. I know South Florida as my folks have lived there for quite some time. All the elements of a book I should like were in place.
Let's start with the writing. The author describes a lot of stuff that doesn't move along the action at all. She hints at back stories for some of the characters but, doesn't give us the details then, plops them in at inappropriate spots. Why not tell us about the girls at the salon? The mystery is weak, too. It doesn't take much to figure this one out at all. Let's hope that Ms. Cohen either improves her writing skills or gets a better editor, please.
