When Pauline Sokol goes undercover to investigate fraud at a weight loss clinic, resisting chocolate is her biggest dilemma . . . until someone is murdered.

Pauline Sokol, ex-RN turned medical insurance–fraud investigator, finds herself embroiled in a scam at a weight loss clinic in the scenic New Mexico desert. As if going undercover in a heavyweight body suit isn’t bad enough, she’s not allowed to eat sweets . . . and her roommate turns out to be a mysterious—and very hot—man.

It seems to be an open-and-shut case, but Pauline isn’t the only undercover investigator on the scene. And when a reporter turns up dead, it’s up to Pauline to solve the case—with a little help from her handsome, but incorrigible, colleague, Jagger. Pauline knows the clock is ticking—and it’s not just counting down the minutes until she can eat chocolate again.

Love the series

I should have looked more carefully and realized this was more of a short story. The plot seemed truncated. It all wrapped up so neatly and quickly I felt something was missing....Love the characters though.

Like all the other Pauline Sokol mysteries this one is hilariously funny. I love how she had to wear a fat suit to go undercover at a weight loss clinic. The problems she had trying to get around wearing her fat disguise, so funny.

I will be sad to come to the end of her latest novel Dr Robin Hood. Please keep writing Lori your books make my day.

Pauline strikes again!

Im so glad this series came back! Just as witty and lots of suspence. I purchused this book and the book after and cant wait for the next! There is one down point though, I wish they could have been a bit longer. Still... they had lots of plot and waiting for the next 2 or 3 more? Keep up the good work!

Ends nicely even though it's very short. The was a great series and I find myself wishing there would be another book.

I love Pauline and Jagger! Give me more! It may be that I was just excited to see a new Pauline novel, but this book was fun and terrific. I just widh it had been longer! It only took me a couple of hours to read.

I bought another one, as Lori Avocato has amazing writing skills that drag you right in and leave you grasping for more.

Didn't care for it, too many situations which would have been difficult if not impossible, but there were no explanations as to how they were pulled off. Lame story & lame characters.

A great "one sitting read" More like short story rather than a novel.

Don't bother.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on February 16, 2015

Verified Purchase

This book is so confusing, i really think part of this book was missing, either that or the author just couldnt be bothered to finish it. I really thought it was going to be a good book, i thought the plot sounded a good one but it just went downhill from there, one minute she's at the fat camp trying to discover the mystery, she is outside trying to spy on someone and the next page she's at home (which is a plane ride away) talking to her parents, you have no idea what the hell happened. i kept flicking back between the two pages to see if my kindle was playing up or that i hadn't read it properly but nope, the page numbers were correct. I really dont get it and was quite angry with it,

Enjoyable quick read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on November 20, 2014

Verified Purchase

This was a bit of a murder mystery slash romance book.
It went along at a fast pace and was sometimes a little unbelievable, but on the whole an enjoyable quick read.
The storyline is based around a few suspicious murders or deaths?? at a weight loss clinic. Pauline is the main character and is an ex nurse and has become a medical fraud investigator so is the perfect person to investigate more into this case so she dons a fat suit and away she goes.

Worth reading

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on November 30, 2014

Verified Purchase

A good story, and the BEST thing is it is believable, and without the bad language and graphic sex scenes that a lot of authors think we need to read. A nice read, with a good story, will keep you wanting to know 'who done it'.

The story is badly written, with horrific plot flaws; spelling and grammar errors; what appears to be a chunk missing out the middle, and poorly developed characters. I kept waiting for it to get better. Spoiler alert, it doesn't.

Jaws.

Not much to say about this book I'm afraid. Didn't enjoy this but did read to the end in the hope it would improve. It didn't.
