Perfection -- Walter Satterthwait

Walter Satterthwait is the author of some fine mystery novels that you might have read, including Wilde West, Cavalcade, and Miss Lizzie. Not to mention the novels in the Joshua Croft series. Perfection is different. It's a serial killer novel, but not the usual kind. It's very funny in a dark way, it has some serious satirical point to make, and it's got a plot that sure to surprise you along the way. The plot? Two Florida cops, Sophia Tregaskis and James Fallon are tracking a killer who's "perfecting" overweight women. Just how he's doing that, I'll leave it to you to discover. And how does he find his victims? Let's just say you're never going to feel the same way about going to the supermarket again. Great stuff. Check it out.
