This brand-new, fully revised edition of Fit to Die is the second in the Supper Club Mysteries. Once again James, Lucy and crew are meeting once a week to encourage each other to lose weight. Unfortunately, over the last month, the flab five have not been doing well with the weight loss program, in fact, most of them have gained weight. When a new diet and exercise business opens in town, they reluctantly join Witness to Fitness. Next door to the health club is a new frozen custard business owned by a newcomer. Arson, murder and fraud all get the Supper Club doing their own investigations in this story.

I really like James and am happy to see he has made some real friends, has a possible relationship blooming and that his father and him are getting along so much better. The library he is running is also flourishing and the Spring Fling they put on brings in some long wanted funds to purchase computers to get them into the electronic age. Lucy is trying hard to prove that she can be a detective and it seems the chief might be taking her skills seriously. As I read the story, I enjoyed the happenings in Quincy's Gap and wanted to find out who was responsible for the latest string of crime. I had some of it figured out, but not all of it. This series is an easy read that has characters that many people can relate to. They are beginning to lose weight in this story which and develop healthier habits, which is a positive thing for all of them. I am beginning to feel like that the Supper Club group are becoming friends that I can talk and commiserate with. A fun series that I plan to continue. ( )

I really liked this book. It's got some light romance,mystery and humor. It's a good book when you don't want to read something heavy. Oh also it's part 2 so you might want to read part 1 first, which was also a good book. I'm actually excited to read book 3 and see what happens ( )

This was a nice, light read, which I read on my iPhone and finished up on a weekend getaway. I like that the main character is a librarian, and that he works with his supper club group to solve murders. Realistic? Maybe not, but it's still enjoyable as breezy reading between semesters of library school! ( )

Fit to Die is the second of the Supper Club Mysteries. The Flab Five have been falling off their diets rather than having the pounds fall off, so when a new Diet guru, Veronica Levitt, meets Professor Henry and Lindy buying items that are not on their diets, she convinces them to sign up along with the rest of the Flab Five at her new diet center Witness to Fitness. The night before their new commitment, "Ronnie" sees all the group at the Polar Pagoda eating ice cream served up by a likeable Willy Kendrick which then leads to a verbal altercation between the two proprietors.

However, Ronnie hasn't made a lot of friends, the food and prices at Witness to Fitness don't invoke the warm fuzzies for any of the members, and after the arson fire of the Polar Pagoda and death of the night watchman, the Flab Five decide that some investigation is in order. It gets even deeper when the prime suspect, Ronnie is found dead.

This tightly-woven story is very entertaining mainly because of the small town setting and the magnificent characters. I'm definitely going to "devour" this series. ( )
