“If you’re a fan of Susan Santangelo’s humorous Baby Boomer Mystery series, Dieting Can Be Murder, the seventh book in the series, won’t disappoint. Carol Andrews needs to lose the weight she gained on her recent second honeymoon. But where Carol goes, dead bodies follow, and such is the case when another dieter in her weight loss group is murdered. Of course, Carol can’t help but start nosing … around to find the killer. After all, the woman collapsed and died on top of her.”
—Lois Winston, USA Today Bestselling Author of the Critically Acclaimed Anastasia Pollack Crafting Mystery Series
There’s a little too much to love about Carol Andrews these days, thanks to the extra calories she consumed during her second honeymoon in Florida with her husband, Jim. Determined to shed the extra pounds before the birth of her first grandchild, Carol joins Tummy Trimmers, a new, holistic approach to fighting—and winning—the battle of the bulge. But her weight loss regimen is interrupted by another group member, who collapses on Carol right after completing a meditation exercise to help lose weight, and dies. When the evidence points to murder, the always curious Carol can’t resist adding sleuthing to her personal weight loss routine.

A fun read. I laughed throughout the entire book!
Cutesy but predictable . Good afternoon get away.
loved it
This is the 7th book in the series. The main character Carol, who is also the story teller. She is a real hoot. She ends up in the middle of a mystery without knowing how she did that. She talks to herself , out loud and to her dogs and she is so funny. As you read, you find yourself smiling at the things she says and the way she can justify almost anything. I do loves these books and I think you will too
LOVE THAT AUTHOR, SHE IS SO FUNNY!
I enjoyed reading this book. I laughed several times and appreciated the family dynamics.
A look at the life of the retired woman and her friends while solving a mystery.
I enjoy this couple and their friends and family. Will enjoy the next book when available.
I enjoy reading one of these baby boomer books every few weeks for a change of pace. Some of the dialog is really funny but now and then it can drag on as Carol explains herself in too many words. I do like the relationship with all the friends.
Loved the diet comedy of this book and could totally relate to the main character. I was worried I would be a bit lost as this is book seven in the series and I have not (YET!) read the others but that was not a problem
It was ok, but not one of my favorites
Love these characters. Just a fun, easy, entertainng read.
Funny and enjoyable. Easy read. Main character’s struggles with losing weight and eating right are very easy to relate to!
Fun read, very entertaining.
A little too flighty for me
Was a well written story with some twists.
wide range of realistic adult characters.
I enjoyed this book very much and will read more by this author. I rrcommend this book espe ially to fans of Murder She Wrote and Hallmark Mysteries.
I love the characters and especially the narrator. This is just fun, fast reading and lots of laughs. I have suggested to many others in need of entertainment.
Feel good reading.
