Jennifer’s Review of Hanging By A Hair

Review (4 Stars): This is the first book that I’ve read in the series and I had no problem jumping right into the story.  Marla Vail and husband, Dalton, have settled into their new home and already are experiencing problems with their next door neighbor.  Alan Krabber doesn’t do things by the rules and before you know it, he is found dead of an apparent suicide.  When the clues point to murder, Dalton becomes the prime suspect and Marla is out to clear her husband’s name.

This was a light-hearted mystery that was a quick easy read.  I found the character of Marla enjoyable and even though I haven’t read the rest of the series, I was able to follow along with the storyline.  I enjoyed Ms. Cohen humorous style of writing and the mystery had a wide variety of suspects who wanted the victim dead.  I will have to add this series onto my list and go back to read the other Bad Hair Day mysteries to learn more about Marla and Dalton Vail.

    I already have the book. I am about half way finished. It is a wonderful book with twists and turns throughout. I don’t have a clue who the killer is. Which is a good thing. You can’t go wrong with this book. Buy it! You’ll love!
