I’ve primped, waxed, cut, painted, spray-tanned, powdered, and massaged them. I know almost every inch of their bodies. But I also know their demons—their deepest, darkest secrets. The things we try to bury beneath the surface so as not to show the world the doppelgänger lurking within us. So, am I surprised something like this happened? Not even in the slightest. I figured it would. It was just a matter of time.” I readjust myself, crossing one leg over the other beneath the table. Across from me sits Detective Frank Sanford, a stern-looking middle-aged man with hard facial features and broad shoulders. He’s your classic blue-collar detective. Despite the suit and tie he’s wearing, his appearance is anything but polished and put together. His red-rimmed eyes give away the fact that he works far too many hours and gets far too little sleep. We have more in common than he’ll ever know. “How do you know their deepest, darkest secrets, Jenny? I mean, are you their therapist too? I thought you were a hair stylist,” Detective Sanford asks, jutting out his chiseled chin covered in stubble. His eyes tighten, staring intently at me as he pauses his note-taking and waits for an answer. We’re sitting across from each other in a well-lit interrogation room. The air is stale and cold, and I can’t tell if the room is trying to match the aura of the detective or the other way around. “I’m both, in a way. I don’t know how much time you’ve spent inside salons, Detective Sanford, but women talk.” I cross my arms in front of my chest, holding his gaze. “Especially when they’re sitting in a salon chair with nothing but time on their hands.” I know this man has never set foot inside a salon, and not just based on his own level of self-care. The truth is, I know more about my clients than I do my own family, especially this group of women. I see each of them multiple times a week. They have cash to burn—or at least their husbands do—and they can afford to pour resources into fighting the greatest war of their lives: the one against the effects of time on the human body. “I see, and you’re the owner of Glow Beauty Bar, correct?” He gently taps his pencil on the table. “The one and only.” I nod. He picks his pencil back up and jots down a couple more notes, careful not to miss anything. “And how long have you owned the salon?” My eyes wander for a moment as I recall when I purchased it. “About five years now.” “And have these women been your clients the whole time?” He creases his brow. “No. They didn’t become my clients until around three years ago. Glow wasn’t always the salon it is today.” He writes down a couple more notes and circles something on the paper. I catch a glimpse of the words within the circle: Glow Past? “I see. So, you’ve known these women for three years, and you’re not surprised that any of this happened?” He raises his thick, dark eyebrows. “No. Don’t let them fool you, Detective. Individually, they’re genuine and they can be kind . . . but when you put them in a room together, these women are downright toxic.” ## Books with a similar feel - [Not a Happy Family by Shari Lapena](https://uncovered.ink/read/not-a-happy-family-shari-lapena.md) - [The Survivors Club by Lisa Gardner](https://uncovered.ink/read/the-survivors-club-lisa-gardner.md) - [The Last Mrs. Summers by Rhys Bowen](https://uncovered.ink/read/the-last-mrs-summers-rhys-bowen.md) - [The Trespasser by Tana French](https://uncovered.ink/read/the-trespasser-tana-french.md) - [The Last House Guest by Megan Miranda](https://uncovered.ink/read/the-last-house-guest-megan-miranda.md) - [Hide And Seek by Ian Rankin](https://uncovered.ink/read/hide-and-seek-ian-rankin.md) --- Source: Uncovered (https://uncovered.ink).
