Cute first mystery in the Supper Club series that features five friends who form a supper club in an effort to lose weight. The protagonist is a male which is unusual for the cozy mystery genre and a nice change of pace. James has moved home to take care of his father and is now the head librarian at the local library. One of the other club members works is an aspiring police officer who currently works with the department which is how the club gets their information when they decided to investigate the suspicious death of a local young man who was generally considered bad news. When suspicion falls on a lovely young woman they all know they compelled to help her. Typical small town activities and characters. The book focuses a lot on the groups dieting efforts in addition to the mystery, maybe a bit even on the dieting front. Oh! For fans of the her Book Retreat series, you'll get a chuckle out of the fact that there are two characters, young men named Francis and Scott Fitzgerald. She must really be a fan of Fitzgerald since she uses that as a name of one of the twin boys in the Book Retreat books.
