Product Description
Product Description
Savannah Reid may have a few extra curves on her full-figured body, but that hasn't stopped her from becoming one of California's most successful private investigators. Her latest case puts her hot on the trail of a shady weight loss therapist who's made a killing treating - and cheating - his overweight patients. The question is, did he kill his wife, too? Pound for pound, this is shaping up to be one of Savannah's toughest cases ever. But she'd better find the killer soon...or else the bodies will just keep piling up.

5.0 out of 5 stars
spectacular mystery, Jan 30 2010
By Harriet Klausner - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Wicked Craving (Hardcover)
There has been a dearth of clients at the Moonlight Magnolia Detective Agency, which leaves owner Savannah Reid bored. She thinks she will have a lot of time to spend with her Granny who has come from Georgia on a visit to San Carmelita. However, her good friend Detective Sergeant Dirk Coulter asks for her help on a case he is working; piquing Savannah's interest so she cannot refuse.The corpse of Maria Wellman was found at the bottom of the steps leading from her home to the beach; both the cop and the private sleuth know instinctively she was murdered. Her husband, renowned diet guru Dr. Robert Wellman claims his wife's jewelry that she was wearing is missing when Savannah inquires about it. The doctor seems more concerned over the lost jewelry than his wife's demise, which enhances him as the prime suspect. However as Savannah and Dirk conduct a deeper investigation they unearth a horde of suspects especially when they learn the true names of the Wellman couple though the diet king remains the top choice.
Except for Savannah's friends and family, the rest of the support cast is a selfish lot with some having performed criminal activities; none are endearing as each is nasty leading the audience to believe they are real and capable of murder, and wanting each one to be the killer. That is the cleverness behind this strong whodunit as the reader will miss clues because of a desire to see the multitude locked away. G.A. McKevett provides another spectacular mystery as the victim is placed on the ultimate weight loss program: death.

I always look forward to another GA McKevett offering. The mysteries are great (and this latest offering is no exception) but the core characters are the true draw.Tbey are kick-ass when need be, compassionate, warm, funny, gracious and graceless (looking at you, Dirk). But, mostly, they are very real.
Great job. The vigil for the next book begins...

Having trouble swallowing this one, Feb 21 2012
By alpha_grrl - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I read several earlier Savannah Reid mysteries and enjoyed them so when "Wicked Craving" came out I purchased it without qualm. The characters are still fun and the writing is decent with one huge issue. Can someone PLEASE explain to me how Savannah is in the middle of a police murder investigation, called by her police detective friend the minute he's on a case, able to walk onto a crime scene, question witnesses and suspects, and discuss a case with the coroner all as nothing more than a private citizen???? It is beyond belief! Mystery novels take a certain suspension of disbelief, but this is too much to swallow and interfered with my enjoyment of the story because I'd keep stopping to think "did that just happen?"
Listmania!
