The Smoldering Salon Scheme
(2026)(Book 13 in the Grace Thompson Mystery series)
A novel by Ginger Ellington
A sabotaged salon. A scorched business. A case hotter than a curling iron on high.
When Bloomsville’s beloved Curl Up & Dye goes up in flames, florist-sleuth Grace Thompson and her friends find themselves tangled in a mystery full of strong personalities, simmering rivalries, and enough beauty-product drama to fill a tabloid front page.
As rumors swirl and alibis frizz under pressure, the Snoop Sisters uncover that beneath the glossy curls and perfect blowouts lies a world where appearances are everything—and secrets can ignite faster than hairspray.
Now the team must sort truth from gossip, comfort a community shaken by the blaze, and help a friend rebuild before the town loses more than just one storefront.
Full of heart, humor, and canine cameos, this cozy mystery proves that even when life gets messy, justice can still come with curls.
