Reviews
In Douglas' witty Florida cozy, smart-mouthed police detective Maggie Skerritt, 48, maintains her fighting weight and no-nonsense attitude. But she is starting to wonder about spending the rest of her life alone, especially after the quiet beach enclave of Pelican Bay is rocked by the inexplicable deaths of two sweet-natured young women. It turns out that Edith, whose only reliable friend was her cat, and Sophia, the wealthy heir to a restaurant empire, were members of a recently formed weight-loss support group. Were they murdered by a killer with a pathological hatred of fat people? Or by someone who can't stand to see people getting their lives under control? Perhaps their nervous doctor is actually a killer. Stressed, sleep--deprived, and frazzled, Maggie keeps breaking out in hives and does not appreciate it when her young partner reminds her that she could be his mother. And speaking of mothers, hers is a handful. Feisty, funny, and blunt, Maggie is good company, and Douglas not only delivers tasty one-liners, she tells a smart and diverting story. Donna Seaman
