[Donna · Rating 3 out of 5]

I like Hager's mysteries. After working night shift, I am frquently to awake to sleep and yet my brain doesn't want to handle complex plots. Hager's mysteries are easy to follow and always end well. They make a perfect light read when you want to wind down for a couple of hours.
Weigh dead has Iris House filled with people who are taking a weight reduction 2 week retreat. One of the attendees is a reporter for a national exposee newspaper. Of course, everyone hates her and you assume she will be the victim. However, another lady borrows the reporter's raincoat and is killed. The book then goes through the expected sorting of who might have killed the victim.
A pleasant if not complex read.
