So good I tell strangers about it.,
By Quirkywriter "karieo" (San Jose, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Killer Hair (Mass Market Paperback)
I loved this book. The characters are slightly quirky and the dialogue is snappy enough to remind me of those wonderful old romantic comedies--and in which Lacey's clothes would fit pefectly.I have passed this around two writers critique groups, and told total strangers about it in the bookstore. If you're looking for a light read, not much blood and gore, and characters that make you laugh (one believes Washington DC men are victims of a plot that blocks pheromones, rendering men unattracted to the women in town) you'll appreciate Ellen Byerrum's launch of Lacey Smithsonian. This is a hoot!

A fashion reporter investigates death in a salon,
By
This review is from: Killer Hair (Mass Market Paperback)
Lacey Smithsonian is a reporter with the Eye Street Observer in Washington, D.C. She writes the Crimes of Fashion column. Recently her column was about the makeover Marcia Robinson got from Stylettos stylist Angela Wood. Then Angie is found dead at Stylettos. The police say it is suicide. Anyone who knew Angie and knows the facts of her death does not believe it is suicide. Her hair has been cut off with a straight-edged razor. Angie was proud of her hair and suicide or not would not have done this to herself. Fellow stylist Stella asks her friend Lacey to investigate Angie's death. She feels that since Lacey is an investigative reporter, this should be easy. Lacey tries to say no, but saying no to Stella is not easy. Lacey runs into Victor Donovan who she knew back in Colorado. Now he's in the area helping his father run his security company. Styletto's is their new customer. There is a lot of history with Lacey and Vic and this new development just confuses her more. The FBI seems to be interested in Lacey's activities and this just makes her more determined to help Stella. Boyd Radford, owner of Stylettos, is called Ratboy behind his back by the stylists due to his profile. His ex-wife Josephine and their son Beau are not well-liked either. Then Tammi is found in the Virginia Beach Styletto's with her hair cut off in much the same way as Angie. She was a stylist there. Vic tries to convince Lacey to back off as he is concerned for her safety. She won't listen and ends up putting herself in grave danger when she finally figures out who the killer is. I like this new series. Lacey is a great character. The author has done a great job of making her believable and three-dimensional. I am looking forward to reading more exploits of Lacey Smithsonian and hope that Victor Donovan will also be in future books. I always enjoy books set in the DC area since that is where I live. I think it's more enjoyable to read a book when you can recognize locations mentioned in a book. I highly recommend this book.

Can't Wait for the Next One!,

This review is from: Killer Hair (Mass Market Paperback)
What a delightful gift Ellen Byerrum has for witty, insightful dialogue. I felt like I was eavesdropping in a world I didn't want to leave (dead bodies notwithstanding). Lacey Smithsonian is a clever, colorful, and highly original addition to the world of reluctant amateur sleuths. I can't wait for the next book in this Washington, D.C. based series. The sooner it hits the shelves, the better! I'll even cancel my next hair appointment to read it!
