Voluptuous P.I. Savannah Reid isnβt a huge fan of diets and sheβd rather walk through fire then go to the gym. But when the nationβs hottest weight loss guru becomes a suspect in a big, fat murder case, even Savannah canβt resist the chance to find out once and for all if the beloved queen of fitness took the βdieβ in diet a little too farβ¦
Weight loss diva Clarissa Jardin became a household name after she transformed herself from flabby to fit with an exercise program she designed. Known for her in-your-face attitude, Clarissa uses her own incredible βbefore and afterβ pictures to lure legions of fans into buying her weight loss books, DVDs, diet meals, and workout clothes. Raking in millions of dollars, Clarissa has the whole world in the palm of her handβthat is, until her husband, Bill, is found mysteriously shot to death.
Detective Dirk Coulter calls P.I. Savannah Reid to the crime scene and it isnβt long before Clarissaβs squeaky clean image starts to unravel. It turns out that Clarissa has a dirty little secret: sheβs always been thin. Her chubby twin sister, Rachel? Not so lucky. Clarissa paid Rachel to pose for her weighty βbeforeβ photos, while Clarissa appears in the gorgeous βafterβ shots. But when Clarissaβs career went through the roof, Rachel wanted a bigger piece of the pie and threatened to go public with the scam if she didnβt get it. Rachel has been extorting money from Clarissa for years, with Bill dropping off the hush money. Only this time, Billβs the one that got hushedβfor good.
As the investigation continues, Savannah realizes sheβs only scratched the surface of this dysfunctional familyβs secrets. Delving into the twinsβ twisted relationship, she uncovers evidence of insatiable greed, out-of-control gambling, and even an extra-marital affair.

Or was an even darker figure lurking in the background, waiting to strike? With the whole world watching this celebrity whodunit, Savannah has to crack the case fastβbefore another victim gets hisβor herβjust dessertsβ¦
