Editorial Review: Product Description: Heather Wells Rocks! Or, at least, she did. That was before she left the pop-idol life behind after she gained a dress size or two -- and lost a boyfriend, a recording contract, and her life savings (when Mom took the money and ran off to Argentina). Now that the glamour and glory days of endless mall appearances are in the past, Heather's perfectly happy with her new size 12 shape (the average for the American woman!) and her new job as an assistant dorm director at one of New York's top colleges. That is, until the dead body of a female student from Heather's residence hall is discovered at the bottom of an elevator shaft. The cops and the college president are ready to chalk the death off as an accident, the result of reckless youthful mischief. But Heather knows teenage girls . . . and girls do not elevator surf. Yet no one wants to listen -- not the police, her colleagues, or the P.I. who owns the brownstone where she lives -- even when more students start turning up dead in equally ordinary and subtly sinister ways. So Heather makes the decision to take on yet another new career: as spunky girl detective! But her new job comes with few benefits, no cheering crowds, and lots of liabilities, some of them potentially fatal. And nothing ticks off a killer more than a portly ex-pop star who's sticking her nose where it doesn't belong . . . Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Ok chick litThe first three chapters were good. The "chipmonk" at the start was great. The next few chapters got a bit blah, and really slowed down. But once it hit about chapter 15 it perked up again and started to get really interesting. I kept thinking I knew who it was, but was at no stage anywhere close. Oh and I think I love Cooper. Rating: - Move over Nancy Drew, Heather Wells is on the caseBook by LK Gardner-Griffie Paperback: Misfit McCabe Kindle version: Misfit McCabe I have been trying to get an opportunity to read some of Meg Cabot's work. She is a prolific writer and I have always heard good things about her books, but haven't been able to find the time to read any of them, while trying to get Misfit McCabe launched, write the sequel, read material and write reviews for the Lulu Book Review, and oh, there's that little thing called the full time day job (which usually ... Read More Rating:  - Spot on and really entertaining!Speaking as someone who worked as a campus resident assistant when she was in college, I have to say that the main character, Heather's, musings about working in a "residence hall" not a "dorm" took me straight back to that time and place in my life. I remember the canned speeches all too well and I laughed out loud at several places in this novel when I remembered being in similar situations to that of the protagonist. The contrast between the mystery fueling this book and the way that Heather ... Read More Rating: - Huge Meg Cabot fan, but this one disappointed meI loved the Queen of Babble series as well as the Boy series. So of course, I thought this book would start off another love affair with the Heather Wells series - uh, definitely no love affair here! While I did finish the book, I definitely skimmed through a lot of it. The constant rambling on by Heather drove me insane! I thought I was going to scream every time I read her say "dormitory, uh, I mean residence hall." Okay, it was funny the first five times, it didn't have to be repeated throughout the ... Read More Rating: - A Plus Size MysteryHeather Wells, former teen pop star, has to start her life over. At 28 her career is non-existent, her money is gone, her finance is now and ex, her waist line has expanded and she has no skills other than those that made her a teen pop star.

It is walking distance from her rent free (almost) apartment, and once her benefits ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
