Okay, so I'm not on hiatus just yet (see post below). My editor sent me this yesterday and I had to post it. I'm excited about the review of KILLER KNOTS in Publisher's Weekly:

Killer Knots: A Bad Hair Day Mystery
Nancy J. Cohen. Kensington, $22 (256p) ISBN 978-0-7582-1225-2

“In Cohen’s laid-back ninth mystery (after Perish by Pedicure), hairdresser and sleuth Marla Shore takes a cruise with her fiancé, police detective Dalton Vail, and his parents and teenage daughter. Shortly after boarding, Marla receives a threatening note addressed to “Martha Shore.” At dinner, she and Dalton find themselves seated with a tense group of museum employees, all of whom were sent on the cruise by an anonymous benefactor and received similar notes. When a piece to be sold at the cruise’s auction turns out to be the work of an artist who died under unusual circumstances, Marla decides to do a bit of digging. Her detecting is complemented by a more personal subplot: how she will get along with her soon-to-be in-laws. Fans of vacation mysteries will enjoy watching Marla find her way through this light whodunit. (Dec.)”
