Gym Dues Can Be Deadly. Lousy fashion designer Margery Rhoades loved to workout. Being rich and well-bred. She thought it was her duty to look good for the little people. As a bloody dumbbell laid on the locker-room floor, Margery never guessed that going to a gym, could actually kill you. When Coffee Sleuth and all around sassafras Ethel Cunningham, gets asked by hunky bad boy detective Vince Carpino to help out with his latest murder case. She reluctantly agrees, but soon gets sucked into the world of New York élite, blood racing intrigue, and worst yet, actually having to workout at a gym. In her sweatiest and weirdest murder mystery yet. The Coffee Sleuth uses all her senses, and craziest outfits, to help trap a killer before he or she cuts her gym time, in half.
I liked it. good characters, and made me want to read authors other mysteries. There is a B story that goes into the other books, and I think I know who killed the person, but I guess we have to wait until book 4?
