Can a stylish sleuth pull a rabbit out of her hat to solve an Easter murder in this to-dye-for cozy mystery?

When hairstylist Marla Vail attends an Easter egg hunt at historic Tremayne Manor, she’s only there to fix hair for a client, Bonnie “Blinky” Morris. But when she’s asked to comb the grounds for leftover goodies, Marla discovers more than just a few dyed eggs. The dead body in the bunny costume is definitely not having a good hare day. And Blinky seems to have disappeared down a rabbit hole.

When trying to solve a murder, everyone needs a friend who’s all ears. For Marla, that’s her husband, homicide detective Dalton Vail. They make an eggcellent team. Dalton isn’t the kind to leap to conclusions, but with his wife seven months pregnant, and knowing Marla finds crime-solving to be irresistible, he worries about her running off on another hare-raising adventure.

Marla’s peeps are hoping for a happy ending, but she may have found a basketful of trouble this time. Can she crack the case before Blinky becomes the next victim? Recipes Included!

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Marla is drawn into an investigation that involves a missing friend and a stolen Fabergé egg. As Marla and husband Dalton proceed, she finds her family life and pregnancy challenged in more ways than one, with everything overshadowed by Easter and a mystery steeped in South Florida history and culture. Nancy Cohen excels at capturing this atmosphere, injecting it into Marla's life and choices with a series of seasonal egg-related revelations and surprises that keep readers immersed in both town affairs, personalities and politics and an Easter egg hunt like no other." Diane Donovan, Midwest Book Review

"Easter Hair Hunt is another delightful mystery for Marla as she embarks on new changes in her life while she works to solve a mystery that delivers an exciting and fun read." 5 Stars! Liz Konkel, Readers' Favorite

"Marla is a character that becomes more appealing with each adventure. Dalton is her equal and recognizes how good she is at sussing out the facts and following leads. The pair make a good team. This time, they're dealing with a plethora of clues and suspects and the twists and turns abound. I've followed this series from the beginning and I'm already anticipating the next book because Ms. Cohen never lets me down." Lelia Taylor, Buried Under Books

"Family, friends, and community - that's what Ms. Cohen's novels are all about, just as much as they are about crime and its detection. The blend is intoxicating. Her main character, hair salon owner Marla Vail, once again finds herself running into a crime that she can't help investigating. After all, when good friend "Blinky" Morris, last seen in an Easter bunny suit during an Easter egg hunt, is suddenly missing, and the bunny suit is found worn by a corpse, what would any self-respecting amateur sleuth do?" Phil Jason Reviews Books

"Unlike other amateur sleuths, Marla has an inside track with the local police department--she's married to Detective Dalton Vail. And he values her uncanny ability to figure out clues the authorities often miss. With no shortage of suspects, Blinky still missing, and a blessed event looming, Marla really has her work cut out in this one. "Easter Hair Hunt" is the sixteenth in Nancy Cohen's Bad Hair Day mystery series. Cozy fans will love it. I did." Susan Santangelo, Suspense Magazine

Intrepid sleuth Marla Vail goes looking for her friend Blinky and instead finds a dead gardener. She also finds a Faberge eggs on the estate grounds. In a case of classic misdirection in which no one is who they appear to be, Marla snips out the lies to reveal the truth and the killer.

I enjoyed the bee facts, the interpersonal dynamics, and the commitment Marla and Dalton make to family time. Another fun installment in Cohen’s entertaining Bad Hair Day series.

A Wonderful Cozy Mystery!

I really enjoyed this book. A very pregnant Marla and her husband Dalton work together to solve a murder and find a missing friend. I could feel the energy and excitement, just pushing me through the reading of each page. It was exciting to get together with familiar faces and enjoy a baby shower. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series!

Hairdresser Marla Vail, along with her husband Det. Dalton Vail, is on the case as she navigates a journey of ups and downs and a couple of bumps. There are plenty of twists and turns in the story as well as the normalcy of everyday routines, errands, yummy dishes and, of course, a surprise or two. This cute and clever cozy is a delightful diversion from today's events and will surely lift your spirits.

Hairstylist Marla Vail is 7 months pregnant, but that is not stopping her from investigating a crime or two. After attending an Easter Egg hunt Marla looks for the Easter bunny, her client Bonnie Morris, “Blinky” to fix her hair before a luncheon. She searches everywhere with no success, and what she finds leaves her cold in the Florida heat. Marla agrees to search for a thief while simultaneously looking for the missing Blinky.
This is the 16th book in the Bad Hair Day Mystery series. I continue to enjoy this series and recommend this book. The books move realistically through Marla’s life. The main characters are well developed. The author writes an engaging story that moves at a steady pace. I look forward to book 17.

Another marvelous mystery with Marla

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 10, 2020

Today is pub day for Easter Hair Hunt! Yay! If you, like me, are a long-time fan of Nancy J. Cohen and her terrific Bad Hair Day Mystery series (or anything this author has written, for that matter) then you will have been eagerly awaiting this book, the sixteenth in the series. And let me tell you right up front, you will not be disappointed. Easter Hair Hunt is the best one yet. I know I say that with every release, but with every release it’s true. Is it because the plot and mystery are that much more engaging, or the phrasing seems that much more real, or because Marla’s character has grown with each book into someone you’d really like to have as a friend, or is it just the way author Cohen magically combines all these elements into a story you cannot put down and will enjoy reading on every page? Whatever it is, it works.

When Easter Hair Hunt begins, there’s a lot going on in the background. Marla is seven months pregnant. She and husband homicide detective Dalton Vail are expecting their first child. Although she still has concerns and fears, Marla is really looking forward to having a baby and being a mother. But it might just cut into this amateur sleuthing she’s so good at. And a side note: Marla is already a mother, and a good one. She’s worked hard for the positive relationship she has with her stepdaughter Brianna, who’s going off to college soon. Life is going to be different in the Vail household in the future for sure.

Marla is to meet a client and friend, Blinky, at an Easter gala at an historic estate. But someone is murdered and the client is missing. Is she the murderer? Has she been murdered also? Marla might take it a bit easier because of the baby, but she is determined to find out what has happened to Blinky and who was responsible. There are many clues – so many characters seem to be hiding something that you’ll be guessing right until the end – and will be pleased and surprised with the ending.

As always in a Bad Hair Day book, Nancy J. Cohen treats us to a bit more – a deep dive into the history of some aspect of the case or something particular to a location Marla visits while investigating the crime. It’s just enough. Not too much to seem like a lecture or history lesson but enough to pique your interest and keep you entertained, and it often helps Marla to solve the case. This time it’s stamps, and Faberge eggs, and the dreaded Love Bugs on the Florida highways. And there are recipes! (Not for the Love Bugs, of course!)

Easter Hair Hunt is a book you will enjoy and should definitely read. It works wonderfully as a standalone with no gaps left wondering about any character, but to get the full reading pleasure experience you should go back and read from the start. Hairdresser and salon owner Marla’s growth is amazing and believable, the friends and family surrounding her are interesting with stories of their own, and each case is full of twists and turns and some genuine bad guys.

Thanks to author Nancy J. Cohen for providing an advance copy of Easter Hair Hunt. I was not required to write a review and all opinions are my own. I thoroughly, thoroughly enjoyed it and highly recommend it.
