To Dye For

The Mortician Murders, Book 1

By: Greta Boris

Narrated by: Amy Melissa Bentley

Imogene's client has a special request. The only hitch is, the client is dead.

It's an ordinary day at Harry's Hair Stop until Imogene hears her favorite client's dying wish. Two days later, she finds herself in the embalming room at Greener Pastures Mortuary, bottle of hair dye and scissors in hand.

Styling her client's hair for the funeral is creepy. She'd expected that. But she hadn't expected the body to buzz like it was loaded with corpse caffeine. Was it her imagination, or was something more sinister at play? Determined to prove her sanity, she teams up with the mortuary's handsome night watchman to investigate.

Through a series of hair-raising twists, they discover the client's death, just like her hair color, wasn't as natural as everyone thought. In fact, this was only one in a string of murders. Someone is killing off the residents of Liberty Grove. It's up to Imogene to find the murderer before the murderer finds her.

If you can imagine Agatha Raisin as a twenty-something rockabilly hairstylist with a weird connection to the dead, this book is for you.

Great concept, good writing

A unique and interesting take on the cozy mystery genre. I am looking forward to reading the rest of the series with the hope that the characters will come more to life.
The performance is good.

Good but not great

I enjoyed the book. The characters are fun and interesting. I think the series will likely get better in the additional books as the characters evolve It was a surprise ending.
