she trained as a nurse in london and almost qualified as a midwife before changing her mind and turning to teaching. However, faced with the horrors of playground supervision duty, she quickly returned to her first choice and worked for many years as a district nurse and a health visitor.
Denise Parks was a thoroughly unlikable womana daughter so jealous of her late mothers memory that she insisted on keeping everything in the house she shared with her sister Janine exactly as Maggie Parks had kept it, a sister so spiteful that shed stoop to anything to drive off Mike Sanderson, the divorced car-salesman she didnt find suitable for Janbut nothing she did merited the painful, ignominious death she suffered when someone filled her mouth with hair mousse as she sweated helpless in her beauty salons Turkish bath. Now its Chief Inspector Connor ONeill and Sgt. Fran Wilson, of the Fowchester police, who are sweating as they try to pluck the killer from among Le Salons personnel. Since owner Dale Dunbar doesnt ask questions about his staffs private lives, there are plenty of secrets for ONeill and Wilson to dig up. The receptionist, the chief haircutter, his understudy, the beauticianall are hiding something. So are Jan herself, her mothers house, andwell, you get the idea. Sadly, most of these secrets are drearily commonplace; worse, too many of them remain red herrings with only a tangential relation to Denises murder, and to the murder that follows. Green extends her range by an obligatory sequence at a leather bar and a spot of decorous romance between her coppers, but fans of her Kate Kinsella mysteries (Deadly Partners, 1997, etc.) wont find much here to stretch their imaginations. -- Copyright ©1999, Kirkus Associates, LP.
