Synopsis

Terrified by the prospect of a weekend with her snobby relatives, overweight Ellie Simons decides to distract attention from her personal and professional failings by arriving with an adoring boyfriend in tow. Unfortunately, no such person exists. Enter Bentley T. Haskell, a devilishly handsome escort who willingly agrees to play the part--for a fat fee. But Ellie and Bentley get far more than a miserable visit with relatives when a weekend with Ellie's eccentric family suddenly turns very, very deadly.

[Dorothy] Cannell makes a delicious debut; discriminatory whodunit fans will want more of her inventions. --Publishers Weekly

A likable debut--combining fairy-tale romance, treasure hunts, and a homicidal mania. --Kirkus Reviews
