I got this book through paperbackswap.com. I think I had added it to my paperback wish list after reading a review or recommendation for this book (or the author). The author has some writing skill. However, there were other weaknesses in the book that make me give it only two stars. The characters seemed to be caricatures. Eloise (a/k/a "Weezie"), the main character, was someone that I didn't care about. Although she was 30 (or in her 30s--I can't recall), she seemed immature.

The "romance" between Weezie and Daniel, a one-time high school fling for Weezie who happened to cross paths with Weezie early on in the book, didn't seem to be based on anything other than lust. I didn't sense there was any chemistry between them.

Weezie's mother was a closet alcoholic and apparently had been for many years. An intervention had been done years earlier but was unsuccessful. The family tried again and suddenly mom was "cured" and a completely different person. This change seemed to happen overnight. In real life, I doubt that it's that easy.

The book was also 50-100 pages too long.

This is apparently Book 1 of a series of Weezie-BeBe mysteries. I don't plan to continue.

One of my favorites books that I read in 2009. I'm keeping this one for a reread. Funny, and a kinda of "who dun it" about a area of the South I love.

What a fun romp of a read. Weezie is divorced and awarded the carriage house behind their Savannah townhouse where her ex and his fiancee' live. She and her friend Bebe are in for tons of fun and challenges. Weezie is an antiques "picker" and when a local historic plantation home is threatened with demolition and redevelopment they are out to stop the plundering of the historic furnishings and the advance of the bulldozers. Throw in some romance and you've got a fun read.
