From the acclaimed author of Corpse Suzette, a plus-sized PI must protect an actress from a killer intent on an encore performance.
There’s nothing like a makeover story to get people hooked, and America is certainly addicted to the weight-loss saga of once celebrated actress Dona Papalardo. Plus-sized PI Savannah Reid is no exception, although she can’t imagine wanting to shed her own hourglass figure by undergoing gastric bypass surgery like Dona did. After Dona’s personal assistant is shot dead in the star’s mile-long driveway, Savannah becomes her bodyguard. The victim was wearing one of Dona’s fur coats, indicating that Dona was the target. And when Dona’s hunky gardener takes a bullet between the eyes, Savannah knows she must act quickly to find the killer.
Knocking around Dona’s palatial estate gives Savannah plenty of opportunity to hobnob with A-list celebrities and compile a list of suspects that proves some people can never be too rich, too thin, or too vindictive. But just when Savannah’s sure she’s had her fill of the macabre, the shooter strikes again, and this time Savannah is nearly caught in the crossfire. Now, Savannah’s determined to find the truth. After all, it’s hard to enjoy fifteen minutes of fame—or a double chocolate brownie—from six feet under . . .
