Mabel is missing is the conclusion hairdresser Hilde Higgins comes to when the body on the funeral gurney doesn’t match the one in the reference photo. When Hilde reports it, the director accuses her of stealing Mabel’s ring. Will an old boyfriend help Hilde out of this fix or only add to the mystery?

This book will be available in paperback the first part of August 2010.

My Review: I read this book in about a day and a half.  The main character, Hilde has a photographic mind and is a hairdresser who works on dead people – different slant – I liked it.  The mystery is not the main part of the story, but a rather large part of it.  Hilde also has a strained relationship with her mom, even though they are both Christians – which gives the story another real-life element.  The characters are down homesy types – people I would enjoy knowing.  Although it is Christian fiction, not all of the characters are perfect nor are they all Christians.  This book is an easy read – great for a day at the beach, or maybe when you don’t feel good and need to stay home (like me!).  I received this book for review from the publisher through Net Galley.
