4.0 out of 5 stars Worth a Look, 6 Aug 2006
By Love to Cook "Lelan" (Huddersfield, W Yorks) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Size 12 is Not Fat (Paperback)
I was given this book as a present and I couldn't wait to start it. I wasn't dissoppointed. I do agree with the reviewer who found certain bits annoying - the amount of the times she kept correcting herself certainly spoils the book and eventually you have to ignore those bits!!

I too didn't guess who the killer was and I normally dissopoint myself by guessing who it is!! Meg Cabot did a great job of hiding the killers identity right to the very end!!

The ending could have been handled better because your left wondering did they didn't they and I kind of got the feeling that the author wasn't too sure which ending she wanted to go with so just left it hanging.

However, it makes for a great summer read and is definately still worth a look once you get passed the repetitiveness.

5.0 out of 5 stars great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, 30 Aug 2006
By J. Johnston (uk) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Size 12 Is Not Fat: (Center Point Platinum Mystery (Large Print)) (Library Binding)
i read this book on one flight! it is a great book that you can't put down

it has a bit of a slow start and the repetative "dorm - i mean residence hall" is a bit annoying but you completely forget about that while reading the book.

very different to the style of writing in the princess diaries. much better.

good storyline and great ending can't wait to read another heather wells mystery!

3.0 out of 5 stars A rambling mystery, 8 Feb 2006
By L O'connor (richmond, surrey United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Heather Wells is a former pop singer who has fallen on hard times and is working as an assistant director of New York College hall of residence. Two girls die apparently while 'elevator surfing', but Heather is conviced that their deaths are not accidental, because girls don't elevator surf.

Heather lives in the house of her ex-fiancee's brother Cooper, on whom she has a crush, and who happens to be a Private Investigator. She tries to get him interested in the case, but he is reluctant to get involved, as are the police. So Heather decides to do a little investigating on her own account.

The story is not uninteresting, but it rambles on with rather too much detail about clothes, diets, beauty routines etc, and Heather's drooling over Cooper gets a bit of a bore. I guessed whodunnit about halfway through the book, though exactly why did not become apparent until about three-quarters of the way through. There is some genuine excitement towards the end, and Heather is rescued from the clutches of the villain in a very unexpected way. I think the book would have been better if it had been about 100 pages shorter.
