Haircut and Highlights (Daytona Beach Mysteries Book 1) by Janie Owens

Kind-hearted Abby has her hands full after opening a hair salon and becoming cozy with a police Sargent named Jack. When she reaches out to Rose, a young homeless woman, Jack takes issue with her sleuthing after the woman goes missing. But Abby is too independent to listen, so she continues to search for Rose. Meanwhile, Ivy, a young employee who Abby mentors, becomes pregnant, which causes all sorts of developments, including telling the unsuspecting father. Super hairdresser Sonia adds drama to the salon setting, along with Abby’s ex-husband’s uninvited visits, and all the shopkeepers’ meddling. But lurking in the shadows is a behemoth homeless man who has evil on his mind, and his sight is set on Abby. This is a compelling story of love for humanity, independence, romance, with a touch of faith. The perfect Beach Book!
