Fit to Be Dead: An Aggie Mundeen mystery

FIRST in the Aggie Mundeen mystery series: 2013 Lefty Award Finalist for Best Humorous Mystery Aggie Mundeen, single, pushing forty and terrified of becoming decrepit, moves to San Antonio, Texas. She decides she better get in shape before anybody discovers she' writes "Stay Young with Aggie," the column that will appear in the local newspaper. She takes Aspects of Aging at University of the Holy Trinity and joins a fitness club brimming with killer machines, workout groupies and disgustingly-fit fillies. When a girl turns up dead, Aggie, so curious it makes her feet itch, decides to flush out the killer. The SAPD detective is appalled by her investigative methods. When the killer comes after Aggie, poisonous gas causes members to evacuate the health club in less-than-dignified attire. Then Aggie has to get really creative ... while she tries to stay alive. Whoever dreads aging, tries to stay fit or has loved the wrong man will appreciate Aggie in Fit to Be Dead. "West's main characters' histories suggest they could fill a series. I hope so.
