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.

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.

Booklist Reviews

Eloise "Weezie" Foley has started up her own antique business after bitterly divorcing her husband, blue-blooded Talmadge Evans III. Her new independence has one serious crimp--she's living in the carriage house in his backyard, and he's now living with his beautiful new girlfriend, Caroline DeSantos. Their hilarious if hostile feuding only ends when Weezie breaks into an abandoned plantation house to get an advance look at an estate sale. What she finds is Caroline, dead in the bathroom closet; soon Weezie has become the prime suspect in her death. Weezie asks her Uncle James, who has just come out of the closet, for investigative help and turns to a gorgeous former boyfriend and her smart-mouthed best friend, Be-Be, for emotional support. Andrews incorporates her immensely likable characters and irreverent humor with a backdrop replete with southern lore, antique furniture, and cooking. She sets a breakneck pace, and readers will just love keeping up with her. An amazingly accomplished, genre-bending debut novel: smart, sassy, and fun to read.
