The Singing Sleuth Returns

Offer passengers elite classes in diet, health, and exercise.
Persuade world-renowned experts to teach the seminars.
Book them on the Pegasus-a luxurious cruise ship sailing from
Florida to Alaska.

That was the thought of Collin Woodward, the Vice president of
Flagship Cruise Line, when he invited on board: Clifford Freeman,
the mesmerizing hypnotherapist; Kenna Chavasse, the seductive light-food chef; Jean Claude Regale, the mysterious Olympic star;
Rita Diamond, the free-spirited diet expert; Dr. Marco Renato, the erudite psychiatrist; and Deidre Lovejoy, the hot-tempered TV talk-
show hostess and Woodward's fourth wife.

The timing of this cruise couldn't have been better for The Singing
Sleuth, Alec DunBarton. After serving three months on the Pegasus,
he had managed to gain thirty-five pounds by eating six fattening meals a day, drinking double Scotches, and avoiding all exercise.

Just as Alec finds a weight-loss plan that seems promising, one of the guest speakers is killed in the ship's sauna. Although homicide is a nasty business, Alec is more certain that "Losing Weight is
Murder!"
