About this listen

Welcome to Daisy Thorne's Ooh La La hair salon in the charming village of Edgemead in Surrey, England, where you'll find the latest styles, the juiciest gossip - and the most tantalizing murder clues....

No one would ever accuse famous opera star Dame Serena Levante of lacking a flare for the dramatic. Unfortunately, it's curtains down on the dysfunctional diva when she's found dead at the bottom of a staircase in her elegant home. Solving an opera singer's murder may not be the typical hairdresser's aria of expertise. But Dame Serena was the mother of Daisy's best friend Floria, so Daisy must do-or-dye her best to get to the roots of the case.

When a priceless Modigliani painting in the house is reported missing, the mystery gets even more tangled. Even though the gruff but handsome Detective Inspector Paul McGuinness tells the stylist to stay out of his hair, Daisy is determined to make sure the killer faces a stern makeover - behind bars.

Loved the entire book / audio. The author is a master storyteller. I was kept guessing straight through to the end on the killer.

Storyline and narrator.

A father who was supposedly very young when his daughter was born is a decrepit old man when she’s a young adult—and other similar inconsistencies that would be spoilers—detract from the storyline.

Gaping holes

I liked it made me laugh at some points and enjoyed trying to figure who done it.

Great escape

Perhaps it was the narrator, but in spite of murder and an unlikeable victim, the book had a positive vibe. The trust of the inspector in our leading lady was terribly unlikely, but hopefully we will see more of these two.

Positive vibe

It took a good 12 chapters before it hooked me but I ended up enjoying the characters and story.

Slow Start

This was a good whodunnit! The characters have distinct personalities and looks. You are able to identify with each one, even if you particularly like one or another. The narrator was excellent in her portrayal of each character. Overall, it was a very good cosy mystery. Hope you enjoy it, too.

Double Life!

Really good quaint story.

A nice escape for a few hours. Not too breathtaking and not too boring either, just right. Lovely little story and performance.
