Size 12 is Not Fat is the first book in the Heather Wells Mystery series. It is written by the author of the Princess Diaries series but this series is directed toward adults. Heather Wells is a washed up pop star who recently dumped her boyfriend when she caught him cheating on her. Her mother ran away to Brazil with all of Heather's fortune, leaving Heather penniless and careerless. She has also started putting on a little weight. In an attempt to get back on her feet, she gets a job as an assistant resident director for a dorm - I mean, residence hall - in New York City, so she can take a few classes for free. In Size 12 is Not Fat, a co-ed is killed elevator surfing and while the police are comfortable writing the incident off as an accident, Heather is not. She decides to do her own investigating and finds a completely different explanation and the killer.
The series is continued with Size 14 is Not Fat Either where a cheerleader's head ends up in a cafeteria stew pot. Not wanting her dorm to be labelled the 'death dorm', Heather investigates this crime also, even though her friends warn her not to. Through her investigation, Heather learns about the initiation rituals of sorroties and fraternities and some secrets about the basketball coach. Heather again finds the killer when the police have come up empty. Perhaps, Heather should think about a major in criminal justice.
The third book in the series Big Boned is scheduled for publication in January 2008.
