Murder in the Beauty Boutique

A Small Town Cozy Murder Mystery

By: Nina A. Wells

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

A Spa Day Turns Deadly, and a Side of Blackmail…

Barbara Stitch thought she was in for a rare day of pampering—until a body turned up in the beauty boutique’s storeroom.

Armed with a flip phone in one pocket and overdue romance novels in the other, librarian Barbara Stitch planned to enjoy a peaceful facial, a pedicure, and maybe a few laughs with her best friends. But when Belle, the not-so-beloved owner of the local beauty boutique, is found dead mid-makeover, Barbara’s relaxing retreat becomes a crime scene—and her best friend Greta is detained as the prime suspect.

Suga, Barbara’s golden retriever sidekick, escapes from home and ends up sniffing out more than trouble. With help from a café owner who sells suspicious herbal cures and a theatrical antique dealer with a flair for secrets, Barbara digs into Belle’s tangled past.

Was it the small-town pharmacist whose reputation Belle nearly ruined Or the disgruntled handyman she blackmailed?

Someone wants Barbara to mind her own manicure—but time’s running out. If she doesn’t find the killer soon, she might be next.
