Voluptuous P.I. Savannah Reid isn’t a huge fan of diets and
she’d rather walk through fire then go to the gym. But when
the nation’s hottest weight loss guru becomes a suspect in a
big, fat murder case, even Savannah can’t resist the chance
to find out once and for all if the beloved queen of fitness
took the “die” in diet a little too far…

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 “before and
after” 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 hand—that 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 isn’t long before Clarissa’s squeaky clean
image starts to unravel. It turns out that Clarissa has a
dirty little secret: she’s always been thin. Her chubby twin
sister, Rachel? Not so lucky. Clarissa paid Rachel to pose
for her weighty “before” photos, while Clarissa appears in
the gorgeous “after” shots. But when Clarissa’s career went
through the roof, Rachel wanted a bigger piece of the pie
and threatened to go public with the scam if she didn’t get
it. Rachel has been extorting money from Clarissa for years,
with Bill dropping off the hush money. Only this time,
Bill’s the one that got hushed—for good.

As the investigation continues, Savannah realizes she’s only
scratched the surface of this dysfunctional family’s
secrets. Delving into the twins’ 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 sister’s 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
fast—before another victim gets his—or her—just desserts…
