Review: Peril by Ponytail by Nancy J. Cohen


Description:
Marla and Dalton’s honeymoon at an Arizona dude ranch veers from dangerous to downright deadly faster than a horse headed to the corral. With her husband’s uncle—the resort’s owner—on the suspect list for murder, Marla races to prove his innocence. She hopes her blind trust isn’t misplaced, especially when she learns their relative has secrets he’d rather keep buried. As the bodies pile up, she digs deeper to find the killer. With her new family in jeopardy, she’d better figure out who’s adding to the spirits at a nearby ghost town before someone she loves is hurt. Saddle up for Marla’s latest adventure in the Wild West where a Bad Hair Day is the least of her worries.


My Thoughts:
A mystery that kept me guessing with fun characters. Marla and Dalton are supposed to be on their honeymoon but they were invited with an ulterior motive in mind. Bad things have been happening and their relatives are hoping they can help. Marla's inquisitive nature gets her deeper into the mystery and closer to the truth, though all she wants to do is relax with her husband. She also has her shears with her, just in case. She might be on vacation but it is hard to leave work behind completely. I just really like Marla and found this to be an enjoyable mystery.

Review: Hanging by a Hair by Nancy J. Cohen



Description:
Marla’s joyous move to a new house with her husband, Detective Dalton Vail, is marred by their next-door neighbor who erects an illegal fence between their properties. When Dalton reminds the man of the local permitting laws, tempers flare—and worse, the neighbor is found dead the following day. Dismayed when Dalton is removed from the case due to a conflict of interest, Marla decides it’s up to her to find the killer. Can the intrepid hairstylist untangle the clues and pin down the culprit before he strikes again?

My Thoughts:



Fun mystery. I just love Marla the hairstylist. She has a new husband who is a detective and a teenage stepdaughter. She just can't seem to help poking her nose in when her neighbor is murdered. This was my first Bad Hair Day mystery, but I felt comfortable jumping right in. This was a perfectly crafted mystery with interesting characters that pulled me in and kept me second-guessing myself whenever I thought I knew who did it. I highly recommend this if you like a fun, easy mystery read.
