Mrs. Pargeter is not a fan of diets and is content with her figure. However, she agrees to accompany her diet-obsessed friend Kim Thurrock to the exclusive Brotherton Hall health spa, on the condition that she enjoys a special "allergy treatment" featuring gourmet food and fine wine. Just as she settles in for a luxurious stay, she witnesses two men wheeling away a young girl's body. Determined to solve the murder, Mrs. Pargeter embarks on a perilous investigation into the health-and-fitness industry's pretensions and deceit. Her quest leads her to confront several of her late husband's associates, including the private eye Truffler Mason, journalist Ellie Fenchurch, Brotherton Hall's manager "Ankle-Deep" Arkwright, surgical expert "Jack the Knife," and the mysterious Stan the Stapler. As she navigates this network, she questions who can be trusted and whether any are linked to the betrayal of her late husband, hinted at by the word "Streatham." With her characteristic composure, Mrs. Pargeter travels from Brotherton Hall to King's Cross and Cambridge University, even visiting a Dead Sea mud bath, all in pursuit of justice. In her latest adventure, she is determined to get her pound of flesh, promising to captivate fans of this engaging mystery series.
