Rating:  Summary: A real page turner... Review: Savannah Blues had it all...family disfunction, wonderful southern humor, mystery, murder, romance, divorce, friendship...what more could you want from a book?I LOVED it. From the very first page I was hooked and didn't want to put it down.
Rating:  Summary: I'm so glad I picked this one up! Review: I love romantic suspense, but when you sprinkle in a fair amount of humor, it gets even better. This book was especially enjoyable because it was set in my own neck of the woods. Don't pass this one up!
Rating:  Summary: A real original Review: I genuinely enjoyed this book. It mixed believable characters, crime, antiques and a real, unique sense of place into a delicious stew. Eloise (Weezie) is a lovely, flawed heroine -- not at all Superwomen, but flesh and blood and very capable of making hysterical mistakes. Her relationships with family, friends, neighbors and men all ring true (eccentric, perhaps, but true nevertheless). The only reason that I subtracted a star is that I found it slow going in the beginning. I got a little impatient waiting for the action to really begin. Still, it was a great summer read.
Rating:  Summary: Best of the Summer Review: I enjoyed this book more than any I have read in a long time. You laugh out loud. It is fun, fun, fun. I love it. I pray Mary Kay Andrews writes her next one asap.
Rating:  Summary: A great tale for real women to end up on top Review: I was given this book by my daughter, and a week later she said so.. have you started it. Well no I read 2 books a week and always have plenty, but thought it must be important to her so. I couldn't get enough it was so refreshing and different that a lot of the heroines in mystery novels these days the antiquing was great change and her whole group of characters was wonderful. I only hope there is a sequel... Read it soon gals you will have a smile for days, and really wish it hadn't ended! Robin
Rating:  Summary: Excellent read, really interesting characters Review: I grew up in the south and enjoy reading books in that setting. I also enjoy antiquing, cooking, and romance. This book had it all for me and I even learned some things while I enjoyed reading this book. I couldn't put it down and was disappointed at the end to find out that Mary Kay Andrews hasn't written any more books! I certainly look forward to her next book.
Rating:  Summary: A Hilarious Romp Through the Midnight Garden Review: Savannah Blues is a wonderful romp through the territory fondly remmebered by anyone who read Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. This story, a suspenseful murder mystery, is populated almost exclusively with the most off-center types of characters most enjoyed and remembered from Midnight in the Garden. Our copy of this book has been read by almost every member of the English Department at our school, and everyone agreed that they wanted to read it slowly so that it wouldn't end. It's fun, it's funny, it's characters are quirky yet believeable. It's setting, Savannah and the environs, is picturesque and comfortable and simultaneously foreboding. This is a good summer read. It's a good read anytime!
Rating:  Summary: SUPERB !!!!!!!!!!!!! Review: My only problem with this new series is that we will have to wait for the next one to come out. Trocheck hits the nail on the head with a winning character, and the best writing she has ever done!
Rating:  Summary: Hilarious!! Review: Great southern humor with strong women, a kooky family, a sexy boy toy, and not a little intrigue. I was sorry when it ended. Can't wait for another book by this new author. As a southerner, I can always tell when the author isn't from the south. THis author's language is wonderful and her southern "speak" is hilarious without making you gag.
Rating:  Summary: A Pure Pleasure Review: Thick with atmosphere and personality, Savannah Blues is a wonderful journey into two seemingly contradictory worlds: Savannah, Georgia and the life of an antiques picker. Weezie Foley is doing her best to get past her divorce, but finds that a little tough when she stumbles across her ex's fiance's mutilated body in the bathroom of a house they had both snuck into. Not only that, but a guy from her distant past has charged back into her life, and chaos (as well as comedy) ensues.
