The Beauty Box Mystery
In the seemingly serene town of Bradley, North Carolina, elderly busybody Myrtle finds herself drawn into a murder investigation when her hairdresser, Tammy, is found dead at the Beauty Box salon. Armed with her wit, an uncanny knack for gossip, and the reluctant assistance of her police chief son, Red, Myrtle sets out to uncover the truth behind Tammy's untimely demise, navigating a town filled with secrets and suspicious characters.
The scent of stale perfume and hairspray hung heavy in the air, a familiar aroma to Myrtle. But today, the usual lively chatter of the Beauty Box was replaced by the low murmur of concerned voices and the sterile efficiency of the police. Yellow police tape stretched across the doorway, a stark contrast to the flamboyant pink and purple decor within.
Inside, a grim-faced Red, her son and the town's police chief, stood near one of the avocado-colored drying chairs, his gaze fixed on the basement stairs where Tammy's body had been found. The news had spread through Bradley like wildfire: Tammy Smith, the hairdresser who knew everyone's secrets, was dead. And it looked like murder.
