Hanging by a Hair

Hairstylist Marla Vail and her detective husband are delighted with their new home until their neighbor turns up dead in this madcap cozy mystery.

Newlyweds Marla and Dalton Vail are happily settling into their new house until their next-door neighbor erects an illegal fence between their properties. Marla's hopes for making friends are dashed when Dalton argues with the man, who is president of their HOA. The situation becomes more tangled when he's found dead the following day.

Dalton, a homicide detective, suspects foul play, but he's removed from the case due to a conflict of interest. Now it's up to Marla to clear her husband's name and make the neighborhood safe again. Secretive neighbors, tribal protesters, religious zealots, and preppers top the suspect list along with a spurned lover and a greedy nephew. Can Marla unravel the clues and pin down the culprit before he targets her as the next victim?
