Behind Eclaire's Doors


Book Description

Welcome to Eclaire, the salon that's making waves among New Orleans high society for its illustrious clientele, who can't live without hair a la Claire. But Claire is about to become famous for more than haute coiffure. Her troubles begin when she discovers that her Parisian manicurist, Angie Labiche, is doing more than nails in Claire's Garden-District salon. Then she finds Angie there in the middle of the night and Claire's ex-husband (and now new fiance) Dan, standing over Angie's very dead body. Claire must untangle a twisted web involving family secrets, blackmail, and a counterfeiting scheme in order to find the real killer, clear Dan, and keep from becoming the next victim. Once you turn the last page, you'll want to make an appointment yourself to visit Eclaire in the next novel of Sophie Dunbar's fresh new series.
