A very worthy follow-up to Savannah Blues. This time BeBe Loudermilk is the MC. After she gets cleaned out by a con man, she's determined to get her revenge. A wonderful cast of characters and lots of Southern charm make this a very enjoyable book. I loved it!
This book definitely falls into the Chick Lit category, but if you aren't one of those who refuses to read a fun book, you'll really enjoy this one. There's something here for everyone: suspense, humor, and a little romance. A nice, easy, quick read.

Cute story, loved all the characters involved, except for Renny the crook. Also loved Savannah Blues. I will be searching for more books by Mary Kay Andrews.
