I was so excited to finally read this book! I’m a huge fan of the Heather Wells mysteries, and I couldn’t wait to see what one of my favorite heroines had in store for me this time. I must say that it was better than I expectedSo, the last we’d heard from Heather, she had just met her remedial math teacher who turned out to be a hottie. Now, in Big Boned, remedial math teacher Tad is now Heather’s boyfriend! Which is totally forbidden, since it’s against the rules for teachers to date students. Anyway, they’ve been dating for three months now. Tad is a vegetarian, loves to run and doesn’t own a television. Why is Heather dating him again, oh right, he’s hot.One morning after Heather goes for a run for Tad, well sorta run, she finds her boss dead in his office. Death dorm scores again, I mean death residence hall. Poor Owen he was shot right through the head, but nobody seems to sad about it since the guy was apparently a jerk.But once again Heather Wells is on the case, even though she is not supposed to be. All of my favorite characters; Magda, Gavin, Sarah, and of course Heather’s and my personal favorite Cooper, make an appearance.Gavin still has a crush on Heather, but he had found a new girl to like named Jamie. Jamie seems to think that she is the reason for Owen's death, since she has an appt. with him that morning to turn in the new Reverend Mark. Who apparently likes to get a little touchy feely with the choir girls, if you know what I mean. Even Sarah has been bitten by the love bug. Who would have saw that coming, not me!. She has fallen for the murse wearing Sebastian who happens to have a gun in his murse that was used to shoot Owen. But of course Sarah knows he is innocent, so it is up to Heather to find the real killer.On top of all her work related problems, Heather's dad wants to turn her into a female version of the Wiggles. As in singing songs to little kids about going to the potty! Needless to say Heather isn't exactly thrilled. Plus, Tad tells her that he has a very important question to ask her, when the timing is right. Could there be wedding bells in the future? To bad Heather is in love with another man. A.K.A. Cooper!Big Boned has moved into my number one Heather Wells book spot, and I’m am really hoping there is going to be another. There has to be! My only complaint is that I wish it would have been longer! ( )

I finished it in less than a day (it wasn't a hefty read, but I did spend a few hours on it). It is the last installment of the Heather Wells series (sad!), and she helps to solve another murder case (this time of her newest boss). Character relationships get even more developed in this one, as the graduate assistant who works in Heather's office is involved with a possible suspect. The ending provided some resolution for me, but mostly made me want to read another book about Heather and the things that happen at the end of the book (sigh). While I realize the murders that happened in the other two books weren't entirely realistic, this one seemed the least realistic of all (but it's okay, I adored the chick lit + mystery combination). Since I borrowed the first two in the series from the library, I'll be trading this one back on paperbackswap.com if you're interested in getting a copy! ( )

Last in the series. Loved the whole set. recommend ( )

This is the third (and, apparently, final) of the Heather Wells mystery series. Once again, slightly overweight residence hall assistant Heather must cope with a murder in her dorm - this time of her boss. But while she tries to solve the crime, she must also clear an innocent grad student's name, do a little matchmaking, and of course finally confess her true feelings to Cooper. Fans of the first two books will enjoy this one as well - there were plenty of cute, hilarious moments. My only complaint is that the Cooper storyline resolved itself pretty abruptly - I'd have liked a little more information. It seems as though Cabot got bored with the series towards the end and just wrapped it up haphazardly.

This is the third book in Meg Cabot's series about Heather Wells, a resident hall director of "Death Dorm" at New York College. Heather is a former pop star who is has a tendency to try to solve the many murders that have occurred in her building. Heather has some very interesting friends as well as an ex-boyfriend pop star, Jordan Cartright, who can't quite cut the cord on their relationship.
In this book, Heather discovers her boss, Owen Veech, shot in the head at his desk. She is tempted to try to solve the case, but her crush and roommate, Jordan Cartright's brother Cooper, demands she leave this one up to the professionals. Heather must decide whether or not her relationship with her math professor, Tad Tocco, is worth pursuing. She's still infatuated with Cooper, but he has turned her down, not wanting to be her "rebound boy." This book is charming and easy to read. I prefered the first two books, and I wonder if Cabot will continue to write Heather Wells mysteries since one major plot line appears to come to an end in this third book. ( )
