Heather Wells mystery
Twenty-eight-year-old Heather Wells rocked out when she was a teen, as a pop star that toured local malls with the boy band Easy Street. But once she stopped being a teenager, started packing on the pounds, and decided she wanted to write her own songs, Heather lost it all. Her recording contract was promptly taken away, her mother took off with her manager and all of her money to Argentina, and her boyfriend, Easy Street member, Jordan Cartwright, dumped her for the newest hot pop star, Tania Trace. But Heather is finally getting her life back on track. She's the Assistant Residence Hall Director at New York College, and she's even shacking up with one of the hottest guys on earth - okay, just as friends - Cooper Cartwright, Jordan's estranged, private eye brother. But when the body of a female co-ed from Heather's residence hall is discovered at the bottom of an elevator shaft, and everyone claims it's just an accident, Heather knows better, because she knows girls, and girls don't elevator surf. Then another body appears, and Heather knows that two accidents in two weeks is utterly impossible. So she begins investigating. The only problem, by the time she finds out who the killer is, it may be too late...for her.
I haven't read a Meg Cabot book in several years - enjoyed several of the Princess Diaries books. So I was intrigued to read this book, not realizing she was starting a mystery series. It is pretty light on the mystery but it was a fun look at college life from someone who really isn't in college but living in the environment. I'm not sure I liked it enough to read more of the series as I got a bit tired of the drama that was interjected on practically every page. But after reading the prolog by Cabot I have a whole new appreciation for her and this series. So I'll try again.
