Dieting can be deadly!
The curvy, voluptuous, big and beautiful Missy DeMeanor, scrapbooking savant, flea market flipper, and amateur sleuth has long struggled with her weight. Fed up with never getting any lasting results, Missy joins a mysterious, invite-only, hush-hush weight management group.
The first rule of Diet Club?
Nobody talks about Diet Club.
When Missy shows up to her first meeting, she has to laugh. The secretive group is anything but mysterious and lacks any semblance of order. Missy knows half the women (women only!) there, and the members all do their own thing and share results. Seems like a safe, welcoming environment, right?
Tell that to Karen Wise, one of Missy’s oldest friends from grade school, who turns up dead in the guest bathroom.
The police discover Karen was on a bizarre diet and are quick to determine the death was a result of natural causes. But Missy’s not so sure. She and Karen have been friends forever and she knows in her heart of hearts Karen would never have gone on such an extreme diet.
Determined to uncover the truth, Missy sets out to prove it was murder and bring the killer to justice. But the deeper she digs, the more secrets she discovers about her friend, Karen, the woman she thought she knew.
Missy is still struggling with her weight, when an old friend (who has the same problem) says she is a member of a ladies only, secretive diet club Missy is prepared to give it a go, mind you she isn't prepared for the oddness of the meeting and none of the ladies there are prepared for a sudden death! Karen hadn't been well before the meeting started and she went to the bathroom, only she never came back as she has keeled over dead.
The local police force (not her ex on this occasion!) have deemed it a death by natural causes, Missy is fairly certain it is a death by Unnatural Causes – namely murder, with the police having closed the case Missy starts digging deep to find out the truth, and ends up finding out more than she planned.
