A DIET TO DIE FOR is the first book in a new series by Sarah
Steding. It is
the story of Jen Stevens, an event planner in New York City
who works at
the Yummy Channel. On the night the network executives are
honoring
their number one diva, Bess Brantwood, for her one hundredth
episode of
Bess's Bakery, no one can find Bess and Jen is seriously
freaking out.
Bess would never miss her own party and the next thing you
know, Bess
shows up in the bottom of a dumpster.
For the next two weeks Jen's life is crazy and so are her
feelings for the
sexy hot detective named Alex. He is investigating Bess's
death and
seems to have the hots for Jen or At least that is what all
her friends are
telling her. I was immediately caught up in their budding
romance and fell
in love with Alex and how sweet he was to Jen. All the
characters in A
DIET TO DIE FOR are fun to get to know and Sarah leaves
lots of room
for them to show up in coming books.
The personalities of the chefs at the
Yummy Channel are very funny and you can't help from
laughing out loud.
The comment on the front cover is Does This Murder Make My
Butt Look
Big.........how can you not laugh at that?
Jen is trying to lose weight and the things she endures
while working at
Yummy Channel are so funny. You can tell that Sarah has
been on the diet
wagon as most of us have because she was spot on in
describing the
feelings Jen was having while craving all the fattening
food. A DIET TO
DIE FOR teaches you that you better have a sense of humor
while dieting
and working at Yummy Channel or you will go out of your
mind.
I'm really looking forward to reading the next Skinny
Mystery! As a
bonus, Sarah has included some of the recipes Jen and her
friends made,
in the back of the book. I just love a good food mystery
and Sarah did not
disappoint. I thought Jen was totally relatable and I could
feel her pain
while she was working around all those delicious cupcakes.
An event planner and yo-yo dieter finds herself embroiled in
an intense murder investigation where she must catch the
killer...and lose that extra twenty pounds. A savvy young
event planner for a cable food network, the perpetual dieter
Jen Stevens has a great group of girlfriends, an exciting
career, and is on the prowl for Mr. Right. If it weren’t
for that pesky extra twenty pounds, her life would be
completely perfect. When foul play shows up on the menu
board of one of her celebrity bakeries, Jen gets entrenched
in the investigation and throws herself into a battle of
sheer willpower...against carbohydrates. She cleverly cuts
through the fat to uncover clues and solve the crime. When
things get sticky, Jen is no cream puff, and saving the day
becomes a piece of cake.
