Hairdresser Douglas Chandler Graham 1st edition

Hairdresser is the exciting new novel that takes place in the fictional town of Ridgemont Virginia. The main story is about a hairdresser that owns a small beauty shop and her adventures in finding romance. The person she is mainly interested in is married and the pastor of the church she has been attending. She isn?t faithful to any of her lovers nor are these men she dates. The beauty shop is the epicenter of the gossip that fuels the curiosity of the citizens of Ridgemont. Lillie?s bar, restaurant, convenience store and garage is another lively place in Ridgemont. It?s the watering hole for the town?s alcoholics and others that think of it as their home away from home. The town?s leading citizen, at least from the commercial side, is found murdered one morning in the snow covered parking lot of Lillie?s. He owned the paint manufacturing business that most of the working people of Ridgemont received their pay check from. He was a long-time resident and, as far as known, didn?t have an enemy in the world. The county sheriff, who had jurisdiction of the murder scene, had very little experience in investigating murders. Besides, he had myriad other duties to take care of so he appointed one of his deputies to take charge of the investigation. This woman deputy was told she could work in regular clothing and was assigned an unmarked county car for her investigation. She quickly honed in on some of the seedier characters and by old fashioned investigating, i.e., asking questions, and a little creative lying found the murderer. In the meantime, the hairdresser had run off the rails due to the infidelity of one of her lovers and is put away in a mental institution instead of prison for her crime. Hairdresser is three hundred pages of interesting action and situations you will find that makes it hard to put the book down until everything is concluded
