Kensington Publishing Corp., Oct 24, 2011 - Fiction - 304 pages

A plus-sized PI isn’t playing around when a doll creator is murdered in this cozy mystery by the acclaimed author of Wicked Craving.

An ex-cop turned private detective, Savannah Reid prides herself on cracking even the toughest cases. But her latest investigation is leaving her hungry for answers as she tries to unmask the identity of a cunning, would-be killer. His prey? Legendary designer Helene Strauss, creator of the world-famous Helene doll. While Helene’s brassy, take-no-prisoners style made her a huge success, it also made her quite a few enemies.

Before long, Savannah is sure she has a handle on the case. But when two key players turn up dead in Helene’s sizzling hot Jacuzzi, Savannah will have to start from scratch—and question everything she thought she knew about the Strausses’ twisted family tree . . .
