Killer Nail - A Cozy Mystery Short Story

S. Y. Robins

Sinossi

When Emma opens her own salon at last, she’s beyond thrilled. It’s taken four years of saving and planning to get here, and she even managed to leave her old salon on good terms with her former boss, Gina. Wishing her luck, Gina has even promised to tell all of Emma’s clients that she has her own salon now. With the grand opening only two days away, Emma is on top of the world. Until someone is murdered right in front of her apartment, that is. The woman is a tourist with zero connections in town, and there’s no reason at all that anyone should have killed her…unless you count the fact that she looks remarkably like Emma. Emma tries to brush it off as a coincidence, but deep down she knows the truth: someone hired a killer to take her out, and another person paid the price. Driven by guilt, Emma decides that she’s not going to rest until she learns the truth. But every time she turns around, it seems that there’s another body. And when she finally figures out the truth, it just might be too late to save her...
