SUMMARY

Welcome back to Quincy's Gap, Virginia, where James Henry and his dieting group contend with dangerous secrets, dark intrigue, and delicious praline sundaes. Six months after starting their low-carb diet, the Flab Five are feeling motivationally- challenged. A new ice cream shop has come to town, but so has the Witness to Fitness weight loss center, run by the fanatical Veronica Levitt. Maybe Veronica's "take-no-prisoners" approach is just what the group needs.

Between dieting, caring for his cranky father, and struggling with his growing affection for Lucy, James has his plate full. But when he and his fellow dieters poke around in an arson case that turns into a murder investigation, the Flab Five discover that they may have bitten off more than they can chew.

A cozy "village" mystery, Fit to Die is the second book in the warm and wonderful Supper Club Mystery series

REVIEWS

"J.B. Stanley's Fit to Die will appeal to anyone who's experienced the horror of dieting." BookPage

"A small town where there's a lot more going on under the surface than most people would realize. Cozy readers will enjoy this. The food that is predominant in the story will have your mouth watering, and not for diet food, either!" GumshoeReview.com

"How refreshing to get to know characters whose bodies are imperfect, whose love for food is a daily struggle, whose self-confidence needs a boost now and then. Characters many readers can empathize with and cheer for and watch grow. This is the perfect read for the faint of heart and/or conservative reader. The culmination of facts and clues interspersed with James and the Flab Five's lives blend into an enjoyable cozy mystery." OnceUponARomance.net

"A well-plotted mystery sprinkled with delightful characters and topped with a dash of suspense." Romantic Times Book Review
