Healthy Wealthy & Dead (Phoebe Fairfax Mystery)

Rating:
Summary: Witty, literatre, totally engaging mystery novel.
Review: When Phoebe Fairfax, camera person for the weekly "Day in the Lifestyle" program, discovers the lifeless body of Janet Benedict floating in the swimming pool at The Ranch (an upscale health spa nestled in the Rocky Mountain foothills), it's listed as a suicide. But then a second body is found, with a handmade sashimi knife through the heart. Someone behind the wrought iron gates of an expensive health spa is a murderer. It might be Candi Sinclair, a seemingly innocent television interviewer with a five hundred watt smile. Or it might be Byron, a cowboy with broad shoulders and slim hips. Then there's Ben Sugamoto, who knew his catering services were about to be canceled. Healthy Wealthy & Dead offers the mystery fan a cast of eccentric and delightful characters in Suzanne North's witty, literate, and totally engaging mystery novel.
