Voluptuous P.I. Savannah Reid isnโt a huge fan of diets and sheโd rather walk through fire then go to the gym. But when the nationโs hottest weight loss guru becomes a suspect in a big, fat murder case, even Savannah canโt resist the chance to find out once and for all if the beloved queen of fitness took the โdieโ in diet a little too farโฆ
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 โbefore and afterโ 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 handโthat 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 isnโt long before Clarissaโs squeaky clean image starts to unravel. It turns out that Clarissa has a dirty little secret: sheโs always been thin. Her chubby twin sister, Rachel? Not so lucky. Clarissa paid Rachel to pose for her weighty โbeforeโ photos, while Clarissa appears in the gorgeous โafterโ shots. But when Clarissaโs career went through the roof, Rachel wanted a bigger piece of the pie and threatened to go public with the scam if she didnโt get it. Rachel has been extorting money from Clarissa for years, with Bill dropping off the hush money. Only this time, Billโs the one that got hushedโfor good.
As the investigation continues, Savannah realizes sheโs only scratched the surface of this dysfunctional familyโs secrets. Delving into the twinsโ twisted relationship, she uncovers evidence of insatiable greed, out-of-control gambling, and even an extra-marital affair. Did Clarissa exact her revenge against a cheating husband? Did Rachel want to live her beautiful sisterโs life bad enough to kill for it? 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 fastโbefore another victim gets hisโor herโjust dessertsโฆ
