Synopsis

Ladies gather at Cassie and Dee Nolan's beauty salon in Lilac Junction to hear the local gossip and, incidentally, get their hair done. Today they've really got something to get their tongues wagging. Hannah Carlson, the high school principal's wife, dies under the hair dryer – murdered! Who did it? And how was the dastardly deed accomplished? Lt. Elizabeth Roberts, assistant to Inspector Trigg from St. Louis, thinks she has a few clues. She does not want for suspects since nearly everyone in town detested the victim, including her husband. A delightful whodunnit for a mostly-female cast.
