Savannah Blues by Mary Kay Andrews


SAVANNAH BLUES  by Mary Kay Andrews
Okay, yes, it is chick lit. BUT, it is GOOD chick lit.  Andrews is my favorite author for when I am mad at the world (don’t ask) and I need a picker-upper.  She gives me a good story with interesting characters, some local touches, a lot of romance, a bit of “southern” and good writing with a few laughs on the way to getting the bad guy and having a happy ending.
Weezie, the wronged wife and soon to be divorcee, has been consigned to the “coach house” while hubby lives with wife number two in the “big house”. Best friend, Bebe, comes to the rescue when Weezie is caught standing over the bloody body of wife number two.  Bebe brings along the hunky chef of the best restaurant in town  who tries to help with interesting results (he must have a great staff because he is rarely at said restaurant).
Lots of fun and skullduggery, a bit of antiquing and home repair, along with many twists and turns in the romance department make this a great read for a quarantine summer.
