Summary

When the economy tanks in Whiskey Creek, Georgia, hairstylist Jolene Claiborne expands her business to include skin care. A wise move until Scarlett Cantrell, a local celebrity, is murdered in the facial room. The police brush aside Jolene’s suspicions that the incident is tied to a recent break-in, and, to complicate matters, the victim's ghost threatens to make Dixieland Salon her permanent place of residence if Jolene fails to expose the killer.

Scarlett’s last words provide the only clue: “Find the jade elephant. Explains everything.” That is until a book of poetry turns up with a dangerous secret inside. Dealing with a diva ghost ain’t easy in the Bible belt. Throw in a sexy police detective, a crooked mayor with connections to the mob, a family cover-up, and a mother who hasn’t cut the apron strings, and you get one stressed out middle-aged hairstylist with murder and mayhem on the brain.

Snip and murder

This was okay and I think I would have enjoyed it a lot better with a different narrator. This one was just annoying I don't know if it was the narrator or the southern accent she used but the characters sounded the same and monotone. She did try to put emotion into the story but it just made her sound like she had a lisp. The mystery it's self was fun and I liked the idea of a ghost running amuck in a hair saloon. There was a lot going on from solving the murder, to the love triangle, to finding out what happened to Daddy this all meant there was lots of suspects to keep you guessing as to who the killer was.
Scarlett Cantrell a local tv reporter comes in for her usual beauty treatment but someone goes horribly wrong. Jolene the owner of the shop thought her day could get any worse when she arrives at the shop to find it had been broken into but she was wrong. Scarlett died in the backroom and now her ghost is haunting the shop until Jolene finds out who killed her. Was it one of Jolene's own employees? the police start to think so and even question Jolene and her sisters. Or could it be related to a story she was working on? Scarlet as a ghost is no help and can only remember that a ruby elephant is important. Can Jolene solve the murder before the police arrest someone she cares about?
