Very enjoyable chick-lit mystery that's readable in one day and contains very practical diet tips as well. The series debut features a plus-size heroine who has a decent self-image but is still surprised to find men are interested in her; I can't help but love that realism. One caveat--this is definitely on the bold side of cozy mysteries, with a bit more innuendo; if it were a movie, it would be at least a PG-13 for adult topics.

The second title, A Killer Workout, is due out October, 2008.
