By Valentine Beaumont of the Murder, Curlers Series
By Arlene McFarlane
My name is Valentine Beaumont, and I’m a beautician with a problem. Make that four problems. I have a mother who feels I won’t be complete until I’m married; I run a salon known as Beaumont’s with three diverse employees ranging from extremely gifted to she’s-holding-a-razor, leave-while-you-can; my business is all but dead because of my past fiasco involving catching a criminal by wrapping a perm rod around his unmentionables; and as of today, I’ve got a murdered client in the facial room.
Is it too late to add another problem? Because of that past perm-rod incident, everyone in Rueland, Massachusetts feels I’m inept, bordering on crazy, including Tall, Dark, and Handsome, Detective Romero, who was coined TD&H by one of my employees. Pain-in-the-butt is what I call him.
That past incident is not something I’m proud of. Maybe I overreacted by using my beauty tools to catch a killer. But it was either him or me. He had a knife. I had a perm rod. The choices weren’t many.
I don’t know who today’s murderer is, but I can say this: everyone seems guilty. The guy who fled the scene, the client blubbering into his hands, the English twins who love to gossip. Even the perky co-ed is acting strange. Detective Romero may be lumping me in with this motley crew of suspects, but if it’s the last thing I do, I intend to untangle the crime and reveal the real killer.
