About the book
When Meg Reed decides to enroll in a challenging fitness boot camp, she is prepared for the physical pain that awaits her—but she never expected to come across a murder.
As an outdoor magazine journalist, Meg is determined to prove her capabilities by participating in Mind Over Mudder, a grueling military-style training program that prepares participants for Portland's inaugural mud marathon. However, with a merciless drill sergeant as an instructor and questionable supplement usage among her fellow teammates, Meg soon realizes that she may have bitten off more than she can chew.
After the tyrannical trainer is discovered dead in the barracks' steam room, the historic Vancouver Barracks becomes the scene of a crime. While investigating her suspicious teammates, Meg uncovers that the most treacherous challenge in this competition might not be the towering walls or demanding workouts, but rather the person running alongside her.
This captivating mystery blends the allure of the Pacific Northwest with gripping suspense, showcasing Meg's growing aptitude for solving mysteries even as she struggles to improve her athletic prowess. A delightful read for fans of Tonya Kappes, Laurie Gilmore, and Lauren Elliott.
A Body at Boot Camp was previously released under the title First Degree Mudder.
