Once again, the Flab Five are fighting crime. They are enrolled in a Mexican cooking class for a break from dieting. One of the classmates agrees to help out with a field trip to a cave with one of Lindy's art classes. During the trip, the beautiful Parker is found dead. Lucy and James are no longer dating but both are working to solve the murder. James finds himself with a new girlfriend in Murphy and she's also super-sleuth to solve her friend's murder.
Sometimes, the beginning of these books getting to the murder seems a bit contrived. Still, one must just hang in there. The Flab Five seem like old friends as they struggle with their diets and still seek to achieve their dreams. It was kind of sad having Lucy and James split up and something leaves the reader to think that something more could happen there. It was fun to meet Milla, the cooking teacher and see how she becomes friends with James' father. I found out that I skipped the second in the series, "Fit To Die", so I'm sure that I will be picking it up again very soon!
Rating - 4.5 stars
