Heather Wells was a teenaged rock star. After her mother took her money and ran off with her manager, Heather has been trying to put her life back together. She has a job and she is starting back to college. Heather's job as assistant director of the residence hall at New York City College was going along just fine until the head of a cheerleader was found in a cooking pot in the kitchen. Now everyone is calling it "Death Dorm" and Heather is determined to get to the bottom of the mystery. Heather's sleuthing is slowed down by a few complications like her ex-boyfriend begging her to attend his upcoming wedding, the return of her father after his release from prison and the guy that she is crazy about not taking her seriously.
I haven't read any of Meg Cabot's books but my daughters love everything that she has written for young adults. I thought this book was fun but still worthwhile. Heather is a very likable character and so are her friends. I loved the dialogue - it was snappy and real. I thought maybe there was too much emphasis on Heather's size that really had nothing at all to do with the story. I will keep looking for more of Meg Cabot's books for adult readers.
Rating - 5 stars
