Synopsis
It's the first day of the winter semester at New York College, and assistant dorm director Heather Wells has a lot more to worry about than room-mate conflicts. One of the New York College cheerleaders has lost her head - literally - in the Fischer Hall cafeteria, and no one can find the rest of her. With the entire population of the dorm under suspicion for murder, it doesn't look like anyone on campus, least of all Heather, who is starting night classes, is going to have a good semester. She's got a decapitated cheerleader and a demoralized student body to deal with, as well as enough guy problems to make a normal girl seek shelter in a convent. With her ex insisting she has to be at his wedding - The Celebrity Wedding of the Decade, her incompetent new boss freaking out over his job demands, her long lost father looking to reunite (with an eye on Heather's far-from ample bank account), and the love of her life still no closer to realizing she's the girl of his dreams, it's no wonder Heather prefers questioning suspects to dealing with her personal life.

But when the murder trail leads her to the door of one of New York College's oldest and wealthiest fraternities, Heather finds that initiation rites have been taken to a whole new level ...

Customer Reviews

great second book
following on from size 12 isnt fat, more adventures for heather. a cheerleader is found murdered in the caf which leads to lots of funny moments and a show down with some frat boys. also the heather/cooper relationship moves forward although not in the way heather would want it too.

great stuff, funny moments, loveable characters (especially gavin who is just so hapless its so cute!!!!) keeps getting better.

More murder and mayhem
Heather Wells is still working in Fisher Hall as the assistant Dorm Director (a job that Meg Cabot did herself for a while), still feeling guilty about her weight (which is steadily rising) and still trying to work out if Dating the brother of her ex-fiance. This time they find a head in the canteen and Heather just seems to stumble on the important clues, which, although she passes them on, seem to lead her deeper and deeper into the mystery.

Add to everything the fact that her ex-fiancee is marrying (the woman Heather caught him with and left him over); and that her father is out of jail and seems to want a relationship; a friend wants her to sing in public with him, Cooper still looks swell and she has to break in a new supervisor and you'll see why this novel moves at a breakneck speed.

Meg has carved herself a fine niche in the funny chick-lit genre. Fun and interesting, I was still wondering about motive until the very end and really wanted to see Heather succeed. It's a fun read, light and frothy but with some great characters I can't wait to meet again.

Loved It!
This book had me in tears from the beginning, and by tears I mean tears of laughter. Seriously funny read. Yeah ok the "dorm - I mean residence hall" thing can get annoying but apart from that... old faces such as Gavin appear and has Ms Cabot given him a hilarious role or what? Reggie the drug dealer... a particularly amusing character. Meg Cabot fans will not be disappointed.
