Book Information

Book Description:
At 28, former teen-pop-star Heather Wells feels as though she has lost everything: her family and fortune (her mom fled the country with Heather's earnings), her recording contract, her slender waistline, and her fiance, Jordan, a philandering, boy-band singer. Then Jordan's brother, Cooper, a dreamy private investigator and family black sheep, offers Heather room and board in exchange for clerical work, and she finds an additional job as a residence-hall director at a nearby Greenwich Village university. After several female students turn up dead at the dorm, Heather takes on her own stealthy investigation and finds herself the target of the killer. In the first title in her Heather Wells series, Cabot combines a fairly straightforward mystery with a single-girl-in-the-city plot in which Heather triumphs over cheating guys, bad luck, and a fattist society. Most of the characters are two-dimensional, but Heather's strong, amusing voice, the plot twists, and the possibility of romance will draw mystery and chick-lit readers alike.

This is a different mystery than I'm used to, but I really enjoyed it. It was funny and also kept me guessing. I'm looking forward to reading the next one.

Author has great wit. Character, Heather Wells, cannot leave well enough alone and is pulled right into the middle of the action. I will read the next in the series.

I couldn't get through this book. I'm not sure what it was, but I stopped after Chapter 5. I just couldn't get into it. I can't remember the last book I didn't finish. I like other Meg Cabot books, though.

Interesting book. It was a tad fluffy but it was good fluffy. It didn't require a lot of brain power and it was a fun quick read. I liked it enough to order the second book.

Fun, easy to read book that introduces Heather Wells, former pop singer, current assistant dorm director, and spunky girl detective. The next book in the series is "Size 14 is not fat either". Don't let the titles mislead you, the novels are not about the size of the character, but about solving murders that are occurring in Fischer Hall. There is a little romance, and a lot of mystery.

I loved this book it was fun, exciting, and mysterious all at the same time. The humor throughout made this a very quick book to read. I am already ready the next one and cannot seem to put it down. I feel so much like the heroine in the book not a size 4 but average and feeling it some days more then others. The mystery has you thinking till the end but when you find out who it is it all makes sense. Just a good read.

This is the first book i've read from this author. Heather's character has a strong resemblance to Janet Evanovich's series about a female bounty hunter. It was quick and fun, and I am looking forward to reading the next one.

This was a light, fluffy, fun read. I didn't even realize it was a mystery until I was well into it. It's very different from most mysteries I read--it has much more in common with Jennifer Weiner's Good Night, Nobody.

This is the first of Meg Cabot's books I've read. I didn't know what to expect from Heather Wells, and I was pleasantly surprised. Heather is sassy and feisty -- a thoroughly likeabel heroine!
I'll admit to being a little uncomfortable with the tense the book was written in, but I got used to that after a while, and just let myself be entertained.
Looking forward to Heather's next adventure!

This is my first Meg Cabot book. I really enjoyed the book. Heather Wells is a funny, very likable character & I will be reading the sequels for sure. I recommend this book. Light, funny & a quick read. ENJOY
Gail B. (Fun-entertaining. Author gives you a satisfying "dessert" at the end that made me LOL.
Loved this book! It was hilarious and a fun read. I can not wait to read the other books with Heather Wells as the heroine.
A chicklit mystery with a touch or romance. Not badly done, but Gone with the Wind it ain't.
Holly (This is the 1st in the Heather Wells series and it's a good one.
Melva S. (I lvoed this book and can't wait to read the next one! Meg Cabot rocks!
