BIG BONED

This was another of Meg Cabot's books in her series "Size Twelve is Not Fat". Once again, Heather Wells, assistant dorm director, finds dead body on her hands. This time, it's her boss who has been shot in the head in his office. The police are focused on pinning the crime on a grad student but Heather is sure there is more to the story. Despite a few distractions like team building exercises for the staff, a boyfriend who has a serious question to ask her and a lucrative job offer from her father, Heather is determined to find out who the real killer is.

Heather Wells is a fun and warm-hearted character. She is sassy and easy to relate to. Heather's friends are back, too, wild and wacky as ever. There is Tom, former boss, Magda, the food service friend who loves her "movie stars", Sarah, her crabby graduate assistant, and the nutty film student, Gavin. The ending was something of a pleasant surprise as Heather's love life is finally just what the reader hoped it would be.

Rating - 4 stars
