Light romance set in Savannah. V. light mystery (

I really enjoyed this book. It was super fun, and while the mystery doesn't take up much of the novel, it was still enjoyable to read about Weezie's finds in the junking and antique world of Savannah, GA. I'm going to look to Mary Kay Andrews more for the Southern Chick Lit genre.

Fun. Fun. Funtabulous. (

This is the second book of Mary Kay Andrews that I read and i really liked it. Loved the characters and thought it was funny, but the story really kept my attention. (

Amazon.com Book Description (ISBN 006019958X, Hardcover)

For fans of Susan Isaacs and Jennifer Cruise comes a witty, wisecracking tale of divorce, revenge, and great antiques, set in sultry Savannah.

Landing a catch like ultra-WaspTalmadge Evans III got Eloise "Weezie" Foley a jewel of a town house in Savannah's historic district. Divorcing Tal got her exiled into the backyard carriage house, where she has launched a spite fest with Tal's new fiancée, the elegant Caroline DeSantos. The War of the Roses is nothing compared to the escalating hostilities between Weezie and Caroline.

Weezie is an antiques "picker" who combs Savannah's steamy back alleys and garage sales for treasures, when she's not dealing with her loopy relatives or her hunky ex-boyfriend. She is convinced that her troubles will be over if she makes a big killing at the upcoming estate sale at a noble plantation house.

But an unauthorized "sneak preview" at the sale lands Weezie smack in the middle of magnolia-scented murder, mayhem... and more. Dirty deals simmerall around her just as her relationship with the hottest chef in town heats up, and she finds out how delicious love can be -- the second time around.
