Enjoyed Iced Chiffon (the first book in this series) so much that I read Killer right after. I like this 2nd book even more than the first, and the first was great. In this installment of Reagan's life, she finds herself trying to save Chantilly, her UPS driver and friend, from a murder charge. Chantilly's ex-fiance Simon had ditched her for Waynetta, a daughter of one of the richest men in Savannah. Needless to say, Chantilly wasn't happy and showed her displeasure by re-enacting Lady Godiva's ride at Waynetta and Simon's engagement party.
When she also crashed the wedding (in her UPS truck no less) she became the prime murder suspect when the groom was discovered face down in the wedding cake impaled by the cake knife, ouch!!
Reagan, who really should know better (but I'm glad she doesn't) immediately decides to find the real killer. Since Simon turned out to be a real cad in more ways than the romance department, Reagan has a whole passel of suspects.
Walker Boone, her ex-husband's conniving attorney, also figures quite prominently in this 2nd book, and Reagan is beginning to suspect his motives for wanting to keep her in the land of the living.
Throw in the 17th Street gang (lovable (?) mobsters) and Reagan's wacky Auntie KiKi, the next door neighbors the Abbott sisters (the new leaders of Twitter central, gossips supreme), and Reagan has her hands full while trying to stay alive to prove Chantilly's innocence.
I love the Southern setting (we moved to TN from "up North") and think that author Duffy Brown has really hit the mark with her characterizations. I'm waiting for a good "Bless your Heart" to join "Aren't you just precious". Now I want to visit Savannah and see how accurate everything is.
Oh, by the way, she had me entirely in the dark when it came to the murderer's identity. NEVER suspected!!
If you like fast paced mysteries with a smidgen of romance and a few good murders, give the Consignment Shop Mysteries a try.
