When former professional body builder Candy Emerson is found dead in her Rehoboth Beach gym, the police rule it a tragic accident. Novice insurance investigator Colleen Fitzgerald disagrees, putting both her life and her heart on the line to find Candy's killer.Colleen soon discovers that while suspects are many (including Candy's unstable ex-lover, her business partner, a violence- prone drug dealer, and her rivals on the bodybuilding circuit, clues are tantalizingly few. Also tantalizing to Colleen is aerobics instructor Gillian Smith, who is rumored to have had an affair with Candy.I liked this book because the mystery is very clever and difficult to solve, and because the tension between Colleen and Gillian is so believable and well done. Barbara Johnson is a very good writer, who makes the reader feel like she is right there with the characters -- whether on the Delaware beaches or at the mercy of the murderer.
