Big Hair is Coming —
Look for Hungry Like the Sleuth in Spring 2027!
Nancy Lethcoe
Hello and Welcome!
I write character-driven mysteries packed with heart, humor, and a heavy sprinkle of nostalgia. Whether you’re here for the whodunit or the throwback vibes—I'm glad you stopped by.
My Big Hair Mysteries follow Roxy Carlisle: lover of all things ’80s, amateur sleuth, and certified queen of big hair and even bigger secrets.
Come for the mystery. Stay for the mixtapes.
Meet Roxy
Big hair. Neon nails. An eye for vintage treasures—and even sharper instincts for trouble.
Roxy Carlisle isn’t your average shop owner. Sure, she runs Big Hair, her beloved ’80s inspired store on Ventura Boulevard, but she’s got a a sixth sense for when something just isn’t right.
Whether she’s curating mixtapes, cruising the streets of L.A., or unraveling a local whodunit, Roxy approaches it all with wit, heart, and a whole lot of AquaNet.
Her first adventure begins Spring 2027 in Hungry Like the Sleuth by Kensington Publishing.
Cozy Crimes. Killer Style.
I'm a mystery writer who blends cozy nostalgia with bold, character-driven storytelling. My stories are like if Nancy Drew grew up, got fabulous, and had a thing for 80s music.
I write stories full of heart, humor, and heroines who don’t back down—set against a backdrop of retro flair and modern-day mayhem.
