She’s a beautician with a plummeting reputation. Can she catch a strangler before her salon is financially frizzed out?
Valentine Beaumont is desperate to revive her dying business. Trying to recover from an infamous incident where she defended herself with a perm rod to her attacker’s privates, the last thing she needs is another scandal. So when a wealthy socialite is strangled with a steamer cord while awaiting her facial, Valentine has no choice but to start combing through clues.
Battling a sexy, hard-headed detective who can’t tell pigtails from a pompadour, Valentine is convinced he’s pursuing the wrong suspect. And despite his warning not to meddle, the gutsy stylist vows to clear her name before the killer claims another client.
Can Valentine tie up the culprit before more lives are cut short?
Murder, Curlers & Cream is the first book in the hilarious Valentine Beaumont Mystery series. If you like ambitious heroines, laugh-out-loud dialogue, and unlikely romances, you’ll love Arlene McFarlane’s clever tale!

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The characters were one dimensional, none I could like or empathize with. Very little background or description given of them so they just became a muddle.
A family secret promise made was referred to constantly but never explained.
There wasn’t much to like about this book.

he disliked her. Every time she saw him or thought about him, her knees gave way, she had hot shivers, sexy thoughts,
etc. - you get the picture. There was no sex or swearing though, which was a plus.
Apart from that it was rather repetitive with Val wondering which of the many people who hated Portia had actually killed her.
She discussed this with her staff, her cop sister, Romero and even the suspects. I admit I didn't guess the killer.
Val put herself into danger many times, despite Romero's warnings and much to his despair.
There was also too much about her makeup and clothes, particularly her shoes. I expect this part of the book and the
"hot men" (there were several in the book) would appeal to teenage readers. And I couldn't believe that any employer would
put up with Phyllis. Val's business would have been healthier if she had paid Phyllis to stay away!
It was a quick read and will appeal to a lot of people, but too fluffy for me.




The characters were all likeable, bar Phyllis of course. I didn’t like when Romero used the word ‘Honey’, it didn’t make him very manly as I was made out to believe throughout the book. But Valentine was such a loveable character, she reminded me of the the main character in Legally Blonde.
I never suspected the outcome at all! I was so so surprised and I won’t spoil it for others.
This was a fantastic read and I’m already off to get the next one!
