OLDER FICTION
Qualey, Marsha

Close to a Killer

(3) YA Murder seems to be an all-too-permanent part of seventeen-year-old Barrie's life. Her ex-con mom owns Killer Looks, a beauty salon staffed by her former prison mates--all of whom served time for murder. When two new dead bodies appear, fingers immediately point toward the Killer Looks employees. Barrie, however, suspects a new friend is the murderer. Strong characterizations, high suspense, and an unexpected twist make for a solid mystery.
