Until the day Jeannie, the sweetest, most supportive person in the world, died.Under any other circumstances, Ellie would have loved meeting the tall man standing in the doorway, doing serious damage to an apple. But Peter Miller's a homicide detective, and he's there to ask questions. Awful questions . . . like who would want to murder Jeannie Dobson?Ellie doesn't believe it's murder and neither do the other members of the group. Until the next "accident" strikes a dieter, and another and another. It seems that as people approach target weight, something happens to them. Then Ellie discovers that she's being stalked, and it becomes clear that she's going to have to spend a lot of time with Miller . . . and that she'll have to start doing some investigating on her own.Ellie considers herself a pretty fair detective, but she learns quickly that murderers don't always play fair, and the weight loss she's helping her friends achieve could become permanent in a way they never imagined.
