Killer calories

Private detective Savannah Reid isn’t your average crime-fighting heroine. Middle-aged and overweight—at least by society’s skinny-winnie standards—Savannah has the audacity to love herself anyway. If there’s anything the sassy Dixie belle enjoys more than cooking soul-satisfying food for her friends and family, it’s nabbing bad guys and plopping them on the scales of Lady Justice. Having relocated to Southern California, this unconventional Georgia peach and the equally eccentric members of her Moonlight Magnolia Detective Agency live to take a tasty bite out of crime in the sleepy, seaside town of San Carmelita. Under ordinary circumstances, deliciously gluttonous, private detective Savannah Reid wouldn’t be caught dead in a toxin-cleansing, exercise-till-you-drop, eat-seaweed-goop health spa. But murder is no ordinary circumstance, and Savannah has to catch a killer. Of course, to do that she has to stay alive, and she’s starting to think this place and its grueling regimen (not to mention the bowls of gruel) will be the death of her. She’s wondering what her official Cause of Death will be: starvation, exhaustion, or murder in the first degree, in KILLER CALORIES.

  • "Sexy private detective Savannah Reid maybe built for comfort and not for speed, but she likes herself just fine as she is. So the only way she's likely to set foot in a health spa is over a dead body--someone else's--along with a hefty fee to sweeten the deal. The irresistible combination of murder and money brings Savannah to Royal Palms to investigate the death of spa owner and former cult-flick actress Kat Valentina. The medical examiner called it a fatal--but accidental--mixture of booze and a hot tub, but Savannah's anonymous client thinks otherwise. Savanah quickly learns there's no shortage of likely suspects from ex-lovers and would-be lovers, to employees and prior co-stars with unsavory pasts. As for Savannah and her sweet tooth, this may prove to be a costly case. For if the strict regimen of exercise and nasty spa cuisine doesn't kill her, there's a murderer close by who's prepared to finish the job. . ."@en
