Book Information
Megan finds mayhem when she arrives in France to bury her Gran and sort out her affairs. She expected difficult encounters with civil servants and red tape but not with wandering chickens, an imperious policeman and a dead body. Together with her unlikely new friend, the elderly and grumpy Alphonse and his canine equivalent, Monsieur Moustache, Megan becomes involved in investigating the fowl-related foul play that’s at work in this sleepy part of rural France.
She’s helped but mainly hindered by the people she comes across. These include the local mayor, who wants Megan to stay and set up a hair salon in his village to help keep it alive. There are the cousins Romain, the gendarme, and Nico, the clumsy but hunky farmer. They have always clashed, but do so constantly now that Megan is on the scene. Michelle, Romain’s terrifying ex who wants him back, appears along the way, as does Claudette, a wheelchair-bound old lady, and Kayla, Megan’s best friend, who is hugely pregnant but not above taking on the forces of French law and order when Megan finds herself the prime suspect after Alphonse is stabbed.

My Review
5☆ A Must Read!!!
Haircuts, Hens and Homicide is the perfect warm feel good read, with plenty of humour, mayhem, mystery and hens.
First of all I want to say just how much I love this Fun, Charming Book Cover. It represents the book perfectly! As does the catchy title.
I absolutely adored this gorgeous book.
Any book that has my giggling within the first few pages is a Winner for me!
When Megan finds out her Grandmother has passed away, she rushes to France to organise things.
But she doesn't bargain for a sick hen. But Edith the Hen and Megan's Grandmother were very alike and Megan just can't cope with losing Edith too. But the mayhem at the vets had me giggling out loud.
In a way I was thinking.... I shouldn't be giggling, Megan has just lost her Grandmother. I was literally in pieces when I lost my Nan.
But Stephanie Dagg has used humour absolutely perfectly. It was very much light hearted slapstick giggly humour.
Ok back to the story, Megan is about to throw herself into the village life as she becomes a hairdresser to the villagers, and then .... A murder.... see her trying to solve the mystery of the murder. All the while juggling village life and getting to know the eccentric, wacky Characters and not forgetting the adorable mix of animals.
This truly is the perfect mix for a cosy mystery.
The characters are well developed, fun, slightly quirky, but definitely memorable.
The plot is light hearted, definitely had me giggling out loud, I was swept away with the mayhem and drama Megan gets herself into and I didn't want to put it down.
I really hope that Stephanie writes another instalment, as I didn't want to leave.
I highly recommend this adorable book if you love Cosy Uplifting Funny Mysteries & Rom Coms.

I'm an English expat living in France, having moved here with my family in 2006 after fourteen years as an expat in Ireland. I now consider myself a European rather than 'belonging' to any particular country. The last ten years have been interesting, to put it mildly. Taking on seventy-five acres with three lakes, two hovels and one cathedral-sized barn, not to mention an ever increasing menagerie, makes for exciting times. The current array of animals includes alpacas, llamas, huarizos (alpaca-llama crossbreds, unintended in our case and all of them thanks to one very determined alpaca male), sheep, goats, pigs, ducks, geese, chickens and turkeys, not forgetting our pets of dogs, cats, zebra finches, budgies , canaries, lovebirds and Chinese quail. Before we came to France all we had was a dog and two chickens, so it's been a steep learning curve. I recount these experiences in my book Heads Above Water: Staying Afloat in France and the sequel to that, Total Immersion: Ten Years in France. I also blog regularly at www.bloginfrance.com.
I'm married to Chris and we have three bilingual TCKs (third culture kids) who are resilient and resourceful and generally wonderful.
I'm a traditionally-published author of many children's books, and am now self-publishing too. I have worked part-time as a freelance editor for thirty years after starting out as a desk editor for Hodder & Stoughton. Find me at www.editing.zone. The rest of the time I'm running carp fishing lakes with Chris and inevitably cleaning up some or other animal's poop.
