All that hard work is finally paying off for curvy, voluptuous amateur sleuth Missy DeMeanor. She's lost pounds and inches to fit into her wedding dress, and gained self-esteem and the appreciate eye of more than one male co-detective. That is, they would be co-detectives if Missy were investigating -- which she's not. Because she promised her fiancé she'd leave investigating to the professionals -- him, among others. Yeah, Miss, we've heard that one before.
Missy's been working out at a small gym with a personal trainer who, unbeknownst to Missy, has signed her up for the annual Celtic Games and a training weekend to prepare. When Missy finds one of her fellow athletes murdered, she knows she has just the two days to find the killer. By the end of the weekend she'll learn two things -- there are 50 ways the fitness world can be deadly, and what her trainer always says is right: you can always do more than you think.
✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽
In this sixth and final installment in the series, Missy has been signed up by her friend Marie to attend a weekend training camp for the annual Celtic Games. They'll be pushing themselves harder than they've ever done, and Missy isn't ready for this. But ready or not, she's going to do it, even if it kills her. But it doesn't; in fact, someone else gets killed and Missy is sure it's murder. Now she has to figure out who did the deed. But unless she figures it out quick -- in two days a murderer will go free...
This is the last book, so I really had expected more of it. A lot of the book was all the exercising Missy was doing, and I really didn't care. That had to be over half of the book. I was also stumped by something one of the attendees told her to do, then did not do it themself. That seemed odd and out of place. I also found it odd that these health nuts would be smoking. It just did not ring true.
To top it off, the ending seemed unfinished. There was so much more that needed to be said, and never was. It was almost as if the author was going to write another book and never did. So I was a bit disappointed in that. When the ending comes and the killer is revealed, the reasons are believable enough, but again, I wished for more from the last pages.
