Product Description:
As the oldest of nine siblings, Savannah has attended her share of family weddings south of the Mason-Dixon Line...several of which have featured her sister Marietta as the bride. But before the fickle Southern belle can traipse down the aisle with her latest Mr Right, the youngest of the Reid brood is thrown into the slammer. At first, Savannah wonders if unruly Macon really is responsible for killing the Honourable Judge Patterson. But when she learns that the ornery old geezer had more enemies than Marietta's had husbands, Savannah is convinced that her brother's been framed.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - who's macon?
In two earlier books in this series, Savannah only has one brother, Waycliff and in Sugar and Spite, Macon was her father that she rarely saw growing up. When was Macon introduced as a younger brother? I really love these books, but this question was bothering me. Also, when did chief Bloss (or captain or whatever) disappear or appear and it turned into Hillquist and Jefferies?
Rating: - A Peach of a Tale
Georgia's supposedly where the sweetest peaches grow, but when Savannah returns to Georgia for her sister's wedding, she finds also that the scent of orange blossoms can mask a deadly miasma of hatred and greed. Once again all the familoar characters in this long-running series return both to aid Savannah and to complicate her quest to trap a killer. I wonder if, when the identity of G. A. McKevett is revealed, we will all sigh in recognition or will it turn out to be someone we never heard of before, ... Read More
Rating:  - A little slower than the others...
I'm getting close to being current with this series... :-)
In Peaches And Screams, Savannah Reid heads back to Georgia to be a bridesmaid in another sister's wedding. But when she arrives, she finds that her youngest brother is being held for the murder of a town judge. She, like a good sister, doesn't believe he did it, but the signs are not encouraging. She starts her own investigation to see if she can clear her brother. Tammi and Dirk arrive from California to help her, and with their ... Read More
Rating: - Deep South female private eye cosy
McKevett has always produced great characters, especially her overweight detective, Savannah Reid, with her sharply contrasted group of Californian friends and vast Georgian family. But to be honest her writing contained weak spots and cliches and her plots were sometimes threadbare. This one has much better writing and an ingenious plot. I think it's her best. It's set in Georgia instead of her usual California. Savannah has to go home for her sister's third wedding and her good-for-nothing brother is accused ... Read More
Rating:  - Another Winner for G.A. McKevett
This series continues to grow and get better. I loved Savannah's grandmother, and especially the pooch Beauregard. I will be looking forward to the next one in the series. I wish I could figure out who G.A. McKevett really is (supposedly a pseudonym for a famous writer).
