[Bishwaksen Bandyopadhyay · Rating 2 out of 5]

The premise was good, but too many distracting details made it a drag at places.

[Susan · Rating 4 out of 5]

Something is amiss at the new, luxurious SuperSpa, and when a man dies in aerobics class, Constable Jason Twitty, who's both black and a graduate of Harrow, is sent to make some polite enquiries. He finds one of the happy patrons very suspicious indeed--until he finds out who the man really is. More near-deaths and deaths follow.

Definitely suspicious circumstances as a man dies at the super luxurious SuperSpa.
The characters are vividly and often humorously described. I particularly liked Detective Twitty and his passion for “unusual” clothes1
I found this to be a nice thriller with lots of “healthy” good humor and wit!
