A Bad Hair Day ( Eclaire Mystery)

Summary: Full bodied characters who like to brag about it.
Review: A BAD HAIR DAY is the third title in Sophie Dunbar's Eclaire Mystery Series. In A BAD HAIR DAY Claire agrees to join other New Orleans hairdressers in a special hair day promotion being put on by a good friend. Little does she know that what is to be a fun day for all will be the final day for one. The promotion takes place in October so in the mist of solving two grizzly murders Claire and Dan are invited to a lively Halloween party. Those coming back from the previous mysteries are, Marcel who is putting on the special promotion; his most recent love, detective/model Nectarine and Dan's parents. Ms. Dunbar unique talent really stands out in her writing. In each mystery the first chapter/page sets up the story line, yet does not really give anything away, other than Claire's feelings sometimes. I like the way she sets the reader up for each chapter. And the ideas she has come up with for doing away with her victims, I think I can safely say most if not all of them are original ideas yet to be thought up by others.

It's a funny, entertaining series.

Summary: I think I'm in love with Dan Claiborne!
Review: I am now a HUGE fan of the Eclaire mystery series. And that Dan Claiborne, whew! what a hunk! Yet again Sophie Dunbar has charmed me with an infusion of sassy wit, mystery and ribald humor N'awlins style. I have loved every book in the Ecalire series and can't wait for more. Don't miss out on the fun! Buy ALL the Ecalire mysteries!

Summary: Not as good as her previous ones
Review: I really do like the Eclaire mystery series. And I'm looking forward to delving into the last, Shiveree and hoping it grabs me like the first two books.

Bad Hair Day...was just too much. Too long, too much going on, too many characters to keep track of, much more 'dark' than previously. Ms. Dunbar's writing is still superb. I just wish Bad Hair Day had been a touch more on the light side.

Despite the overabundance of action and characters, the book is still good, and I'm very glad I read it.

Summary: KEPT ME LAUGHING!!!!
Review: I really enjoyed this book, I finished it in one day it was very difficult to put it down. Sophie Dunbar's writing pulls you into the story to where you feel like you are a part of it. The characters are VERY colorful and fun. A MUST BUY!!!
