Book Description

April 2004
Ladies' man and top stylist Garth Barkley is stabbed to death with his own shears in front of his own customers.

But no one saw a thing.

Among the customers is Wally Morris, a reluctant sleuth who has cracked two cases in the past, and her mother-in-law, Tillie.

The suspects are many: Garth was universally loathed. In his wake, he left too many broken hearts, a wide collection of jilted former fiancés, and three angry ex-wives.

While Tillie and her elderly friends at the retirement center attempt to crack the case, Wally desperately juggles her job as a nursery school teacher, planner for her daughter's wedding, and sleuth, helping her future son-in-law, assistant prosecutor Elliot Levine on the murder case. But clues are scarce and eyewitness testimony is confused.

In addition to solving the murder, in between calls to the caterer, the florist, and photographer, Wally must uncover the connection behind a series of strange happenings in Tilly's building. With so much on her plate, Wally keeps stumbling onto clues that lead her closer and closer to Garth's killer... and danger.

About the Author

Joani Ascher lives in New Jersey with her husband and two children, two dogs, a cat and Carmen, the seventh Seeing Eye puppy to be raised by the family.

Joani is a member of The Mystery Writers of America and Sisters-in-Crime.

Vengeance Cuts Loose is Joani's third book for AVALON.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another Hit, June 4, 2004
By 
Marci Gordon (Maplewood, NJ United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Vengeance Cuts Loose (Hardcover)
Once again Joani Ascher has written a book that keeps you on the edge of your seat. The twists and turns are remarkable and just when you think you've figured it all out . . . you're wrong! The setting of "Cuts" is every woman's beauty shop nightmare. It makes me glad that I go to the barber shop. Read away, you won't be disappointed. Then go back and read her other two if you haven't already. Can't wait for number 4.

5.0 out of 5 stars You know the characters, June 25, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Vengeance Cuts Loose (Hardcover)
If you live in a suburban town, you will enjoy this book because you'll feel like you know the characters personally-- as you probably do! In fact, you'll probably see yourself as one of the characters. A fun read-- hope to see more goings-on in Grosvenor soon.
