Savannah and the Magnolia Detective Agency are at it again. When full-figured model Cait Connor dies from heat stroke, everyone figures she had too risky a regimen, especially with her eating disorder. But when a second full-figured model, Kameeka Wills, is killed, they begin searching for suspects.

Turns out they were both working on a new ad campaign for Wentworth’s Slenda Flakes. There is lots of controversy that the cereal doesn’t remove pounds as advertised, but really adds pounds. Savannah has to go undercover as a full-figured model for her new client to help figure out what is happening. This is definitely new territory for her. Soon a third full-figured model is missing. Dirk, Savannah and the rest of her group are all working against the clock to try to bring her back alive. There seems to be an abundance of suspects. Can they narrow it down to the true guilty party in time?

Then Savannah’s sister shows up on her doorstep. Once again she thinks she is in love and is in hot pursuit. No matter how much Savannah talks to her, she can’t dissuade her. Why oh why does everyone end up at her house?

There is plenty of food in this mystery as well. Savannah loves to have company meetings at the dinner table, and she believes in no one going home hungry.

I love this series. Savannah and Dirk have such a great relationship. There is just enough sexual tension to make you wonder, but also plenty of just plain friendship to balance things out. I can’t wait for the next book to find out what their next adventure will be. Tammy who runs the office for Savannah is terrific too. A sprinkling of Savannah’s family into the mix really adds to the story line.

I highly recommend this book.
