This was a book my mom had in a bag of books she planned to donate that I decided to read before donating.

Killer Body is a weight loss company--I'm not quite sure what their program entailed. The founder takes supplements and encourages his second in command to do the same. A trainer often used by the company pedals black market medications. Other parts of the book discuss eating disorders and bariatric surgery.

It seems that women go to extreme lengths to try to get the body that Julie Larimore made famous as the spokesmodel for Killer Body. One of those women being reporter Rikki's cousin Lisa, who dies weeks before her wedding. Rikki investigates at the demand of her aunt and uncovers a bigger problem than what she'd anticipated. ( )
