G.A. McKevitt-is a pseudonym - is she really Fanny Flagg,
By A Customer
This review is from: Bitter Sweets (A Savannah Reid Mystery) (Paperback)
She is dripping with southern sass. The characters jump off of the page right into GA or MS or LA. I've read all four of the Savannah reid novels and hunger for more. She has a fabulous range of communication between the dour yet male-hiding-his-feelings Det. Coulter as well as the "perky" asst.in Tammy Hart. Throw is some Ben and Jerrys ice cream w/ a dash of magnolia scented bubble bath and I feel as though I am back home in the south. I love the way that she has not forced her main character, detective Savannah Reid, to sleep with every male couterpart she meets and I feel proud to be female. Throw in her friendship with other male characters, some ice cream, lit candles and tales of her upbringing with Granny Reid and she is a true strong female character for which I find myself cheering!!!! I impatiently await her next novel.

I really like this series...,
By Thomas Duff "Duffbert" (Portland, OR United States) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Bitter Sweets (A Savannah Reid Mystery) (Mass Market Paperback)
While I was up half the night with what seems to be the flu, I was pretty much able to start and finish Bitter Sweets by G. A. McKevett. This is the second book in the series, and you end up getting a fair amount of character development devoted to Savannah's grandmother. She shows up on Savannah's doorstep, wanting to experience a trip to Disneyland. Unfortunately, Savannah has a few other things going on.Savannah's new detective agency gets its first case, and it's a request to track down a missing sister. They take all the necessary precautions to make sure the person requesting the trace is actually her brother, and they start the hunt. When they finally find her, they learn she's in hiding from her ex-husband who has threatened to kill her and their daughter. Before Savannah can arrange a meeting between brother and sister, she finds out she's been duped. The sister is murdered, the child is kidnapped, and Savannah now has to track down the killer. To make it worse, the chief of police is seriously considering charging her with being an accessory to the murder. A nice number of twists and turns, and some ethical questions at the end where you have to figure out whether justice would be served by doing the "right" thing.

This review is from: Bitter Sweets: A Savannah Reid Mystery (Savannah Reid Mysteries) (Paperback)
I love all of these Savannah Reid mysteries. They are great reads.
Unlike some of the female plot driven mysteries now popular the plot isnt so easy to figure out. There is always a little something you didnt expect. The characters are fun and warm, making you feel like you know them. There is always a sub plot that is just as engaging as the mystery. I highly recommend them all to any mystery fan.
