I have been reading some really fun books by Mary Kay Andrews. They are humorous books with a lot of Southern atmosphere.

Set in Savannah, Weezie is an antiques picker and her friend BeBe (pronounced Bay Bay) owns a restaurant. In Savanah Blues, Weezie got the carriage house in her divorce settlement and is living there while her ex-husband and his new fiance, Caroline, live in the townhouse that she saved from ruin and renovated. When Caroline is found murdered at the site of a huge estate sale, Weezie is suspect number one. Helped by BeBe, her fabulous new chef Daniel, and her uncle, a former priest turned lawyer, Weezie must find out who killed Caroline, save antiques gone missing from the estate sale, and get her alcoholic mother into treatment.

In Savanah Breeze, BeBe is forced to move into a rundown motel when a swindler, Reddy, takes everything else she owns. Harry is living at the Breeze Inn, making renovations to help get the money to get his fishing boat out of hock. Together they get the place spiffed up and running, when there is a Reddy sighting in Florida. Along with Weezie and BeBe's grandfather, they drive to Florida to see if they can do what the law can't--out-swindle a swindler.

I am currently reading the new Christmas installment of this series, Blue Christmas. Weezie is pulling out all the stops to win the annual Christmas window display competition, but something weird is going on. Her dog, Jethro, went missing and turned up inside her truck cab, but the blue Christmas tree pin accidentally left on her shawl is now missing. Then, someone comes into her kitchen and removes the bacon wrapped shrimp while she is in the shower, and Jethro doesn't even bark. She has just found out that someone has been sleeping in the bed in her display window...so I can't wait to finish it!
