Savannah Blues

I recently discovered the writing of Mary Kay Andrews and there is just something about how she writes that pull you into the book and leaves you wanting more. When I saw she had a series about 2 friends, I cleared my week and binged all the books in the series. I just love Weezie, her style, her warmth and compassion, how she refuses to give up, all make this a great story and being reduced to living in a gate house, while her cheating husband lives in her dream home with his new girlfriend, I am not sure I would have been so nice. Then her friend BeBe almost 180 degrees different but always willing to put everything aside for Weezie, I love it. If you want a great series choose this one

I loved this laugh-out-loud, romantic,fine-food-fun-friends book laced with action and who-done-it, all cooked up together!Whatever you do, don’t miss this crazy-unique book. Mary Kay Andrews has done it again!❤️

I started this book and then skipped to the last several chapters and then went back and read some from the middle up to the part I had skipped to because it was one of those that made me nervous. When I feel like a character is being abused by the author and put into bad situations unnecessarily I have a tendency to want to skip ahead and see if the author will redeem their story in the end. This book had some very good parts and I laughed in places and appreciated the explanations of southern stuff within the story telling. I am to the point where I don’t want to have to deal with bullies and injustice, even in the short term, in my books while so much is happening in real life. That may be wrong, but it’s how I feel. Good storytelling and okay book. 4.25

Savannah Blues wax entertaining from the first to the last page. Murder fraud, romance and a great story of friendship and Southern culture. I do not want it to end!

I really enjoyed this book! A lot of fun, especially for someone who is an antique dealer and lived in the Low Country (both savannah and Bluffton), in the 90s and just moved back to Okatie a few months ago.Weezie and Bebe are two ladies I'd definitely want to be friends with. The book was laced with places and sayings that are so distinctly Savannah. It really hit the mark. Looking forward to the next in the series

Excellent reading material.

Very entertaining. I was very invested in all the different stories. It wasn 't just sex. What little romance there was alluded to sex. Great story. I love all of Mary Kay Andrews books. Brilliant!

My only problem with the book was the number of short paragraphs on each page. Pages averaged 9 to 12 paragraphs per page. I found this made it difficult to read.

I wanted to try something a bit different to read and also a book that was entertaining without being a crime novel or too silly. This story by Mary Kay Andrews was a good choice. It's set in Georgia, deep south USA. Not a place I know at all. I loved it and I loved the main character, and her friends. She is feisty and full of character. As "wheezie" (Louisa) is really into second hand and antique furniture and houses, the book is full of details on these. She has a gay ex-priest uncle who is a lawyer and his helped is needed, as Wheezie tends to act first and think second when it comes to following up her passion for antiques. when trying to reccy an empty house that is going to an estate sale she finds a dead body and is arrested. The pace of the story is fast but not furious and is not at all boring. recommended.

Eloise "Weezie" Foley, the heroine of this book suffers from the injustice of her divorce settlement. Her philandering ex-husband left her nearly nothing, apart form the former carriage house which is unfortunately on the same premises where he now lives with his new girlfriend. Her Ex got the main house, that Weezie had renovated and had put not only her labour in, but also her heart.Furthermore she has to face the "happy" couple every day and is struggling to make a living as a antiques "picker", searching for discarded treasures in dumpsters and at estate sales.Quite an explosive mixture and its not really a surprise, when the girlfriend turns up dead...This book was real page-turner! So hilarious and with that special sense of humor that the author also shows in her Julia Callahan Garrity-Series,written under the name of "Kathy Hogan Trochek".I laughed out loud several times and it was great fun.Weezie and her friends/family are very likeable and the story is enthralling,with the right amount of suspense.Can't wait to read more !!!

Not as good as Danielle Steele, but a excellent read! The continuity of the different strands of the plot is well managed. You develop over time a close relationship to her recurring characters, which are common to three of her novels; so it is hard to put down in the end. Let's hope the author returns to these same characters in future efforts and develops some of them to a greater extent (such as Bebe, a particularly interesting character)

I must admit two things: First, I am a European who read this book as a preparation for a trip to Savannah and I wanted to learn something about this town. Second, I am a man. I emphasize my gender, because this book appears to be very feminine and maybe my male judgement is somewhat biased.Savannah Blues obviously rides of the wave created by John Berendt's "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil". Savannah Blues also is a crime story and a story about Savannah's society. Yes, I learnt some aspects of Savannah's aristocracy. The actual story, however, is very thin. The characters are clear-cut, either good or bad (easily recognizable). There is absolutely no psychological depth in this book. Thus, light reading.On the other side, the author has tried to combine all ingredients which seem to make a successful novel. A little crime, a little sex, a bad ex-husband, a nice uncle, a funny girl-friend, a cute dog - and a mother who is basically good but unfortunately an alcoholic. I usually do not tell about a book's ending, but in this case I cannot avoid to refer to one aspect of the book's ending. Regarding the alcoholism part of the book, it is like one of those "quick'n'easy" recipes from cookbooks: A notorious, long-time alcoholic is cured within days and without any effort. Amazing!

Very entertaining and funny! I can’t wait to read the next in series and I’m looking forward to all her other not related titles. I needed a new author and I’ve found her! :)
