Rave Reviews

TRESSED TO KILL was #1 in paperback sales at the Mystery Lovers Bookshop for May 2010

"Fans of the themed cozy will rejoice as new talent Dare debuts her Southern Beauty Shop series . . . Dare turns this off-the-rack concept into a tightly plotted, suspenseful mystery, and readers will love the pretty, plucky, smart, slightly damaged heroine and the rest of the charming cast." - Publishers Weekly, starred review

“This first in a new series will certainly charm readers with its close-knit group of beauticians who work together to solve this nicely plotted and well-executed mystery. With its uniquely Southern setting and snappy characters, this mystery is an exceptionally good addition to the cozy genre.” - Romantic Times, 4 ½ stars
