From New York Times bestselling author Mary Kay Andrews comes a spirited audiobook about starting over and taking control of your life.
Eloise Foley, known to her friends as Weezie, has been through the divorce from hell. Her ex-husband Tal (aka Talmadge Evans III) was awarded their house in Savannah's historic district, the house that Weezie had spent years painstakingly restoring to its original splendor. Weezie was awarded the two-bedroom carriage house on the same property. Each was sure the other would sell. But Tal has taken up residence in the main house with his new girlfriend Caroline DeSantos (who never seems to perspire or have a hair out of place during the wilting Savannah summer), Weezie is running her antiques business out back, and neither will budge. She's also got a few loony relatives and a hunky former boyfriend to contend with, and if that's not enough, dirty deals aplenty wherever she turns.
In this town, where everybody knows everybody's business, something's got to give. Listeners will fall in love with the vivid setting and spunky characters in Savannah Blues.

    Savannah Breeze by Mary Kay Andrews (MyBookBarn)
    MyBookBarn: This is the second book in May Kay Andrews Savannah series. It's just as highly entertaining as Savannah Blues & I highly recommend! Fans of Antiquing, who-dun-its or southern lit (humor) should check out this book!

In this first book of the series, we meet Weezie and BeBe, best friends. BeBe owns and runs a restaurant, Weezie is a “picker” who finds and deals in second-hand items, hoping someday to have her own shop. Waiting at night at the site of an estate sale, Weezie is desperate for a bathroom, and does the logical thing. She breaks into the estate, finding not only a bathroom, but also the very dead body of her ex-husband’s fiancée. She gets caught and arrested, but her Uncle James, a lawyer and ex-priest, is hard at work to clear her name. Set in Savannah, the heat and humidity practically seeps into the pages, even for those of us in the snowy northland. Weezie and BeBe are delightful characters, as is Daniel, Weezie’s new man in her life. Though the mystery of who killed Caroline is interesting, that storyline almost takes a backseat to the friendship between Weezie and BeBe, and Weezie’s growing fondness for Daniel. It’s a great southern story with all the right elements for an entertaining tale. ( )

I loved the Callahan Garrity series by Mary Kay Andrews. The style and characters reminded me of Janet Evanovich and Stephanie Plum. It took a few minutes to get into this new series (New to me), but I warmed up pretty quickly to it. There are still the quirky characters and the funny adventures although it seems a bit more serious than the other books I’ve read by her. Looking forward to the next one. ( )

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.
