Counting Carbs is Murder
5. Februar 2007
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
James Henry's life has brought him many changes in the last few months. Right after his divorce, his mother died and he moved home to care for his dad. He's taken the job of head librarian for the Quincy Gap branch. Of course, since this is such a small Virginia town, the job is much more prestigious then it sounds.
James has had a hard time making friends since he moved back, so that's why he decides to become the fifth member in a local supper club. The entire group could stand to lose weight, so they decided to count carbs together. Dubbing themselves the "Flab Five," they set out to reach their own weight goals.
The club has barely gotten off the ground when the local trouble maker dies in the bakery. Lucy, one of the supper club members, decides this unusual event is the perfect time to prove she can be a real cop instead of just their dispatcher. The victim had made lots of enemies in his short life, so finding suspects is easy. But working together, these five new friends just might find the killer.
This is the first book in a new series that shows plenty of promise. The characters are quirky and charming, and I fell in love with them. The small town setting was equally as enjoyable. The plot was a bit uneven at times, but did proved several nice clues and red herrings before the suspenseful end. The book also includes two low carb recipes to try later.
The "Flab Five" are an entertaining bunch, and I look forward to a chance to meet up with them again soon.

Dieting and Murder
14. November 2006
Format:Taschenbuch
James Henry is a former English Lit professor. He has come back home to Quincy's Gap, Virginia, to take care of his father after his mother's death and his divorce. His father isn't a very nice person. James was lucky to get a job as the local librarian, and now he has no social life. He just hides among the books at work and eats cheese puffs.
When he hears about the supper club, he figures he can stand to lose fifty pounds and he might make some friends. He jumps at the chance to join. He meets Lucy Hanover who works in the sheriff's department and is attractive. She'd like to be a deputy someday. He also meets Lindy, Gillian, and Bennett. They decide to call themselves the "Flab Five." Each of them needs to lose weight, but they all seem to have dreams and aspiration. I think that's what made me like them so much.
James and his fellow dieters end up in the middle of a murder investigation when someone mysteriously drops dead in the Sweet Tooth Bakery. Soon James finds himself looking forward to the next meeting of the supper club. But can they stick to their diets and find the killer without putting themselves in danger? And what is James' father doing in the shed all the time?
I really enjoyed this book. I read it in two days. The characters are so much fun. You might think that a mystery set around dieting would be boring. Not in this case. You will laugh out loud at their antics. The supper club is such a fun idea. I just wanted to keep reading. Can't wait until the next one is out! I highly recommend this book. I hope she writes fast!

Loved Carbs & Cadavers!
24. Oktober 2006
Format:Taschenbuch
Carbs & Cadavers was a nice, easy and entertaining read. I recommend it strongly.
You can love a Clancy, Ludlum or other book but never identify with the hero and their special world saving talent. But Carbs & Cadavers offers numerous characters to identify with in one way or another or possibly recognize a friend or two. The 5 members of the Flab Five share the all too common desire to shed some extra weight, but each has a special food crutch like cheese puffs, frosting, or doughnuts.
What you may not identify with is murder in a small town. But if you believe that the Flab Five can help solve a murder, then you'd be right. The story easily flows and soon you've read the whole enjoyable thing. Just like a good cookie...or two.
