Beat Up a Cookie

Product was as described and shipping was speedy. I would buy from this seller again.

Having already read Throw Darts at a Cheesecake, I was eager to read another mystery mixing dieters and death - an an intriquing combination, to say the least. And....okay, I admit it, I'm a Weight Watchers member and,to put it bluntly, I was also looking for something to keep my mind off food. And guess what? This book worked - I lost 5 pounds in the time it took to finish the book, less than a week. Every time I wanted a doughnut or a chocolate eclair, I read another chapter. Having said that, I should add that you'll love this book even if you haven't counted a single calorie in your life. It is fun trying to find out who is killing the Great Dieters of America -and why. Now I just have to get my hands on Denise Dietz's other mysteries, so I can keep my eyes on the page - and my hands out of the cookie jar!

I reviewed the first book in Ms. Dietz's series, Throw Darts at a Cheesecake, and I loved Beat Up a Cookie just as much. Again, I couldn't put it down until I'd read every word, and I didn't even come close to guessing whodunit. I feel like I KNOW these characters and I want Ellie to move next door to me. If you like Jessica Fletcher, you'll love Ellie Bernstein. Not to mention Peter Miller and Jackie Robinson the cat.
