My mom adores alliteration so the title of this book tickles her fancy no end. Hair Calamities and Hot Cash is a novella by Gail Pallotta and is full of adventure,  comedy, and suspense.

Poor Eve Castleberry runs a North Caroline beauty shop. For some reason, this widow is finding her hair products are not doing what they are supposed to do with strange results. To top it off a New York stockbroker crashes his car into her salon and he’s on the hunt for criminals wanted by the FBI who stole his client’s cash. Merry mayhem ensues and this is one delightful romantic comedy as the two work together to get the money and solve the riddle of what’s going wrong at her store.

Writing witty comedy is an art and Gail Pallotta has it mastered in this novella. No cats or dogs but any book that makes my mom giggle is worthy of five bones!
