A fashion reporter stumbles on a murder investigation in the Nation’s Capitol, only to be thrown for a loop when her police detective former lover is assigned to the case.
Watch Killer Hair, from Ellen Byerrum’s popular ‘crime of fashion mystery’ series. The movie is about a fashion columnist who ends up unveiling a murder that takes place in a hair saloon.
Lacey is an investigating reporter, who lands up as being a fashion columnist in a third-rate newspaper in Washington D.C. When a hair stylist is found dead with an atrocious haircut, the cops call it a suicide, but Lacey sees the details that others fail to and finally prove it to be a murder and not suicide. Could you even think that fashion could be dangerous beyond your credit card balance? The movie also involves Lacey’s ex-boyfriend who claims to be divorced but in reality is not.
Lacey Smithsonian moved to Washington for only two reasons. To advance her career as a journalist and to get away from her boyfriend, Vic. She finds herself writing for a Washington D.C newspaper giving ideas on fashion. Her sense of humor and artful trick of playing with words makes her a popular columnist, only that the job does not satisfy her. Her humorous writing has influenced the wardrobes of the rich and famous in Washington. One day, a hair stylist is found dead in the salon of her friend. The police soon declare it a suicide, but things don’t end up as a suicide. The victim’s hair has been chopped in a very weird manner and Lacey, the fashion chick, knows that a stylist, who took pride in her looks, would never want to look like this ever. Lacey, in search of adventure digs in deeper and comes face-to-face with her ex, Vic. Vic who still happens to have feelings for her, is the investigating officer of the case. He has moved to Washington and most definitely divorced by now. With the support and encouragement of her friends, Sarah and Sadie, Lacy joins the pieces of the puzzle and finally unravels the biggest scandals of Washington.
The movie is sure fun to watch as the story unfolds and the clues gradually untangle. However, the number of unlikely twists and coincidences makes it hard to believe. Lacey runs into the right person, at the right time. She meets the person who always knows the information she is looking for. Another unbelievable thing is the glamour suspect who confides everything only to Lacey and no one else. And Vic, her ex-boyfriend is coincidently assigned the same case.
Overall the movie is good, but if given an option, I would read the book. According to me, this works better on a printed material. Lacey is a character that is more fun to image.
