Savannah Blues

De: Mary Kay Andrews

Narrado por: Susan Ericksen

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, and something does....

Heaping Spoonful of Southern Hospitality

Susan Erickson's narration increased my enjoyment of this fun mystery by Mary Kay Andrews. I rarely listen to a book I have already read, but this exception was rewarding. The nuances added by Susan Erickson's delivery increased my enjoyment of this multifaceted mystery. Mary Kay Andrews develops her characters with so much depth, you feel like you are amongst good friends. I hated to leave this cozy when it ended.

love her writing Mary Kay Andrews!

Charming Southern Cozy Mystery

I love listening to Mary Kay Andrews’ cozy mysteries. The southern-small-town setting always gives her stories a bit of extra charm. I adore the narrators’ southern accents.

Savannah Blues is one of Ms. Andrew’s earlier books, and it is the first of her Weezie and Bebe mystery series. I fell in love with these two colorful characters. Their fun, supportive friendship made me long for my own sidekick.

The story premise and plot pace are great. Ms. Andrews provided a good balance between relationship and scene setting with mystery plot progression. That’s a huge compliment from this reader as I feel many cozy mysteries set up the murder then spend ninety percent of the book describing minutia of characters, scenes, and daily life without again mentioning the murder/mystery until the last few chapters of the book.

Equally engaging are the secondary characters in Savannah Blues. Weezie’s parents are delightfully old school; I loved their charming “southernisms” (i.e., “Who are his people?”). Weezie’s ex-husband is great as the loathsome social climber. Bebe’s hunky chef is the complete opposite, and therefore makes him a perfect fit for Weezie. I enjoyed how Ms. Andrews introduced all these various characters and wove their stories together. Savannah Blues is an enjoyable cozy mystery, and a nice start to a series that I look forward to reading.

Great narration by Susan Ericksen.

Laugh riot

I couldn’t turn this off! It was hilarious and I found the area facts to be spot on. The characters draw you into their lives as if you are an old welcome friend!

A truly fun listen.

I haven't "read" a whole lot of fiction. But apparently I choose wisely as this was a real pleasure to listen to. It actually made me want to learn more about the south east & have more appreciation for antiques. lol.

Great fun story!

Loved the southern story line & all the characters. I already am in love with Savannah, so this just put an exclamation point on it!

wishing audible would get more

Great mystery series. i love the charm and wit. wis Audible woulx have more unabridged Mary Kay Andrews books.

Outrageous in every way

Even though this book has been out for a while, I somehow have just found it. I'm southern and I do enjoy Mary Kay Andrews' take on a good story set in the south. The narrator was great even though I've never ever met anyone in the south with that much of a southern accent. It just added to the quirkiness of the story. There were enough twists and turns to keep me interested and more than enough humor to keep me laughing. Savannah Blues is just a wonderful read for pure enjoyment-not deep or life-changing but truly entertaining.
