Summary: Lots of fun!
Review: Weezie Foley is a picker, she goes to estate sales and the like looking for items to sell to antique stores and the like. She lives in the carriage house next to the townhouse she lovingly restored when married to Tal, her exhusband. Tal's family was friendly with the judge, so he got the house and she got the garage, except for the parking space which went to Tal's new fiancee. Weezie tries to look on the bright side and continues her business in the hopes of someday opening an antique store. A big opportunity arises when the contents of a local mansion goes on sale. She sees a cupboard made by a famous carpenter, and sees a way to make her dream of opening her own shop come true. While snooping through the house, she finds the body of Tal's fiancee in a closet. Naturally, she is arrested for the murder. This is a wonderfully fun novel. The mystery is very good, but there's so much else going on. Weezie's family is trying to solve their own personal problems. Weezie rekindles a romance with a high school sweetheart, and last but not least Weezie tries to get the money together to buy the cupboard. The characters and the story line are great, I can't wait until she publishes her next novel.

Summary: I didn't want it to end!
Review: I love this book, and now that I know Mary Kay Andrews is Kathy Hogan Trochek, another favorite, I'm going to be begging for more. I devoured it in less than 24 hours and almost started to read it all over again. Having lived in Savannah as a child and in Windsor Forest, shopped in Adlers and played in Forsyth Park, played on the beach at Tybee when the old hotel was there and knew it well when it was seedy, she was pushing all of the right buttons for me. I'm going to buy a copy of this for my mother's birthday she will be enchanted. Anderson has it all down right. Lets have more now!

Summary: IF YOU LOVE ANTIQUES ROADSHOW, YOU'LL LOVE THIS BOOK
Review: If you love going to flea markets, yard sales, and browsing through antique stores, you'll devour this book. It's a fun mystery too, but the real hunt isn't for a killer...it's for the killer find, that piece of furniture you pick up... that turns out to be early American and worth 25,000, or the box lot that contains a treasure trove of jadite dishes in the bottom. And the city of Savannah is here too, with all its charm and drawbacks...but ah, who wouldn't leave Atlanta, as the author did, to write a mystery there. I can only hope this is the start of a series...

Summary: cloying Southern "charm"
Review: Take your first warning from the fact that the main protagonist calls herself "Weezie." Everyone has a cutsie Southern nickname and some endearing personality quirk. Then there's the whole Uncle James subplot, told from his point of view, which is might have been interesting but ends up seeming like just another gimmick thrown into the mish-mash of contrivances that make up this novel. The book tries WAY too hard, in my opinion. Usually I like this sort of thing (Edgerton, Pearson, Welty, Dufresne) but this just goes over the top and leaves no real meat behind.

Summary: Savannah's next "it" book!
Review: Mary Kay Andrews has a hit on her hands with Savannah Blues! This is a wild ride through the in's and out's of Savannah as seen through the eyes of a local antiques "picker". Departing from her usual genre of mystery to a broader scope of location novel, Mary Kay Andrews (aka Kathy Hogan Trocheck) takes us into the world of Savannah's elite and those not so well-heeled. She weaves a funny and heart-warming tale of loss and love found in unexpected places! A 10!

Summary: Fun, fun reading
Review: I enjoyed this book so much. If you are a fan of Susan Issacs or Jane Heller, this book is for you. I laughed out loud in places and I so enjoyed the excellent depiction of the southern personalities. I also have to say that the author played the mystery out really well, and I couldn't guess who the culprit was. So read this book and enjoy!!!
