--Liliana Hart, Bestselling Author Valentine Beaumont is back in her second hair-raising mystery, this time, trying to find out who had it in for an elderly nun. Only trouble is there are others standing in her way: hot but tough Detective Romero, sexy new stylist Jock de Marco, and some zany locals who all have a theory on the nun's death. Making things worse: the dead nun's secret that haunts Valentine, another murder, car chases, death threats, mysterious clues, an interfering mother, and a crazy staff. Between brushing off Jock's advances and splitting hairs with handsome Detective Romero, Valentine struggles to comb through the crime, utilizing her tools of the trade in some outrageous situations. Question is, will she succeed? "MURDER, CURLERS, AND CANES is a beauty of a read. The quirky characters are fun, the mystery is well-plotted, and the romance is sizzling. Arlene McFarlane's sleuth Valentine teases out every clue. It's the perfect read for the beach or under the hair dryer. Delightful!" Denise Swanson, Bestselling Author of mysteries and romances
