Lisa Akbari is a hair care pioneer. For most of her life she has worked in the hair care industry. She became a licensed cosmetologist in 1977. By the age of twenty-one she had opened her first salon. As a stylist, Mrs. Akbari has always maintained a large clientele and worked on many hair teams and as a platform artist. As an educator she has trained hundreds of stylists and hair care professionals on how to create hairstyles without sacrificing the health of their clients' scalp and hair. Mrs. Akbari owns and operates the Hair Nutrition Research Center in Memphis, Tennessee. Through research and studies, she has discovered several hair and scalp disorders including Short Hair Syndrome and Follicular Epidermis Alopecia. She has successfully created a hair care product line engineered specifically to the needs of African Americans. Mrs. Akbari has a degree in trichology, the study of hair and its disorders, and continues to further her education. She is the author of The Journey from Kinky to Straight (and All Its Pit Stops), and has written countless workbooks and manuals, lead seminars, and recorded videotapes and audiocassettes. Mrs. Akbari is married to Dr. Hooshang Akbari, and has twin daughters, Raumesh and Raumina. She lives in Memphis, Tennessee.
When introspective bookstore-owner James Marshall, of the seaside village of Linton, places an ad for a wife in the London Times personals, he's hoping to end three lonely years after the death of his beloved Angela. One of his responses is from ex-model Eve Harris, who would like to end a string of unsatisfying affairs and a boring job as an office temp. Coolly competent Brenda Newbury, whose only attachment seems to be to her brother Malcolm, is Eve's office confidante and worries when her co-worker fails to show at work after her planned rendezvous with Marshall. But when Eve's body surfaces on the coast near Linton, no one appears more shocked than Marshall, who has meanwhile met and fallen for widow Sally Graham, another respondent. He claims, in the face of evidence to the contrary, to have had a call canceling his dinner date with Eve Harris. This cuts no ice with the police, who promptly charge him with her murder. Even his friend and lawyer Harry and his sister Hilda have doubts about his innocence, but Sally has none and sets out to find the real killer - a quest that nearly ends her own life. Less wordy and more convincing than some of the author's past work (A Nice Little Business, etc.), this one has some well-drawn characters, pacing that lags only occasionally, and a neat spin on the well-worn wolf-in-sheep's-clothing gambit.
