Native Texan Cassidi Conti was expecting to face some obstacles when she moved to Danger Cove and opened The Clip and Sip, a hair salon that gives away free drinks. What she wasn't counting on was a client dying during a dye job. But when eighty-year-old Margaret Appleby comes in for her biweekly appointment, that's exactly what happens: Margaret drinks her usual soy chai, dozes off under the dryer…and doesn't wake up. Now The Clip and Sip is under suspicion, clients are wary, and Cassidi is on a mission to prove that while her styles may be killer, her employees are innocent! But as Cassidi wades through the myriad suspects in the small, costal town, the killer’s sights are set straight on everyone's favorite stylist. If Cassidi doesn't watch her back, she may just end up Danger Cove's latest fashionable victim.

It’s Christmas in Danger Cove, and all Cassidi Conti wants is clients. A rival salon owner has come to town and stolen The Clip and Sip’s business. Her holiday hopes go south, however, after someone sexes up the sleigh display at her open house and an incident from the past makes the paper. Luckily, her tough talkin’ Texan aunt rides to her rescue, and she’s madder‘n The Grinch in a gift shop. But when a nail client drops dead at her rival’s salon, and the killer sends unseasonal greetings to The Clip and Sip, Cassidi wonders whether a Texas cavalry could save her from the impending disaster. She has to act fast to figure out who the manicure murderer is, or her Noël could be nixed—forever.

Salon owner Cassidi Conti thought The Clip and Sip’s struggles were behind her. That is, until a local sightseeing company gets wind of her building’s brothel past, and busloads of tourists run her clients off. Hoping to save her business, Cassidi contracts Finials and Facades Renovation and Restoration Services to remove some racy relics from the premises. To help cover the costs, her step-cousin Gia commits the duo to doing hair and makeup for the vow renewal ceremony of a wealthy socialite and her gangster husband. But when the soon-to-be-renewed groom drinks an espresso during an eye makeup session and keels over dead, Cassidi fears a mob retaliation. Now she has to figure out what an exotic flower arrangement, an antique cameo, and an Agatha Christie book have to do with the murder, or it’s RIP for The Clip and Sip—and for Cassidi!
