Description

Warm memories and good food greeted Mrs. Potter'snbsp;nbsp;retum to her beloved Nantucket, but so did anbsp;nbsp;chilling surprise. Her old friends had a dangerous newnbsp;nbsp;look: dangerously thin and dressed tonbsp;nbsp;kill! Was something sinister going on? A handsomenbsp;nbsp;new diet doctor had won over the richestnbsp;nbsp;widows on the island with his weight-loss secrets -- and his verynbsp;nbsp;personal attention. But when sudden death wasnbsp;nbsp;seved up along with delightful show more Down East dishes (try sinfully rich Scrimshaw Inn Rum Pie or tangy Nantucket Cranberry Cup Pudding!), the inimitable Mrs. Potter knew it was time to stir the pot and comenbsp;nbsp;up with a devilishly clever culinary killer. show less

The Nantucket diet murders by Virginia Rich
Book starts out with her returning to the island and she finds her friends very thin and lacking in diet. Also some have died and she's on the trail of what is going on.
You are brought up to date about the womens past and their spouses and children as they all grow up around one another and spent many holidays together.
On their strolls they discuss architecture, widows finances, herbs that Tony is giving to others-it's an individual plan for each...
Like hearing all about the herbs and their combinations.
Recipes included at the end.
Received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device).
Visitng friends in Nantucket, Eugenia Potter discovers that many of them have fallen under the spell of a diet guru she doesn't quite trust and when a murder occurs she must learn who is threatened by the newcomers and why. Worthy entry in a good series.
