Library Journal
When a rather nasty woman dies of poisoning in Marla Shore's Palm Harbor beauty shop, police suspect Marla, the only other person in the shop. Marla, who doesn't want the authorities to find out that the victim was blackmailing her, takes a defensive stance and falls for the attractive detective in charge. She conducts her own investigation, questioning the dead woman's estranged son, niece/heir, greedy business partner, and others. While not without redeeming qualities, this first effort suffers from inconsistent characterization and a few frayed story lines. An optional purchase for larger collections.

March 11, 2001: I very much enjoyed this book. It read fast and kept my interest. In fact, it read too fast. I was finished in 2 days. Can't wait to read NJC's other books.

August 15, 2000: This is a nice book to take to the beach, where light entertainment is the fare of the day. It does not pretend to be great literature, but tells an engaging story. Of course, once again we are asked to believe in an unlikely romantic set-up, namely that a good-looking widower of two years is still available and unattatched! The love angle at times makes the book smack of a Harlequin romance, but most would probably enjoy the varied (if one-dimensional) portrayals of the cast of characters in the story.
