Killer Body

Rating:
Summary: A Class Act in Suspense
Review: A well-written treat in suspense, and hard to put down after you start reading. The author does a terrific job of getting into the troubled heads of each of the three Killer Body contestants, using their personal issues with food and body image. The reporter looking outside in while investigating the Killer Body organization provides another point of view, giving a different perspective on the quest to be thin at all costs. This author clearly did her research into the dark side of the weight loss- body perfection industry, and its dangerous toys. I also didn't know who had done it until the end of the novel. Don't wait, read KILLER BODY today.

Summary: terse romantic thriller
Review: At the funeral of her cousin, Lisa Tilton, her Aunt Carey says that Killer Body murdered her healthy daughter. Aunt Carey pleads with her niece Valley Voice reporter Rikki Fitzpatrick to investigate the death and the company. Though she would prefer to say no, Rikki would do anything for her beloved aunt who raised her. Rikki arranges with her editor to make inquiries and write a story about Killer Body without revealing the personal aspects.

At the Killer Body Clinic, Rikki meets the three contestants competing to replace the missing spokesperson Julie Larimore. Over the hill actress Rochelle McArthur, divorced Princess Gabrielle Paquette, and overweight Tania Camp each has a reason to obtain the job. As Rikki keeps digging, she finds herself attracted to marketing director Lucas Morrison, but though he reciprocates he remains suspicious of her motives. Soon Rikki's findings lead to danger with only Lucas to keep her safe if she only trusts him.

Though the suspense takes a long time to really kick in, readers will enjoy this terse romantic thriller. The cast is solid, not just the lead couple. Fans will easily delineate between the three rivals for the modeling job and understand what makes the elderly Killer Body owner Bobby W tick. Still the tale belongs to Rikki and Lucas, whose love may not prove strong enough to keep her alive.

Summary: Killer Body delivers
Review: Like her novel, Intern, Bonnie Hearn Hill delivers a page-turning story that draws the reader in from the very beginning. Unable to put the book down for long periods of time, Hearn Hill's characters reasonated off of the pages, leaving the reader wanting to know more. As the story unfolds, topics such as bulima, anorexia and a myriad of ways to lose weight are interjected, yet not so overpowering that the reader feels lectured to, but comes away feeling a sense of loss for what the characters would endure to get that "killer body". A highly enjoyable novel about topics close to many people's hearts, Killer Body is sure to be a best-seller.
