From Publishers Weekly

Introduced in Just Desserts, Savannah Reid, a Georgia transplant and former cop in Southern California, is having second thoughts about forming the Moonlight Magnolia Detective Agency. Her first case is a man looking for his sister, from whom he was separated as a child. Savannah locates Lisa Mallock and her daughter, Christy, and learns they are hiding from Lisa's abusive ex-husband, Earl. Then Lisa and Christy are abducted, and Savannah, certain that her investigation led to the crime, feels responsible. After she finds Lisa's mutilated body in a remote fishing resort, the Moonlight Magnolia Agency, including Savannah's former police partner Dirk, mobilizes to find Christy before she too is harmed. Savannah's visiting Granny Reid is unable to stand idly by and adds her country bromides to the proceedings. Despite the fact that the police are on the verge of arresting her every step of the way, the dessert-loving Savannah and her motley team of investigators manage to save the day and pull off a light, satisfying tale.

From Library Journal

Brian O'Donnell wants to locate the sister his dad gave up for adoption years ago. Transplanted Southern belle Savannah Reid, unjustly fired from her job with the San Carmelito police, must either find a case for her detective agency or else deny her sweet tooth. She uses her indomitable charm and connections to find Brian's sister, who has been hiding from an abusive husband. Unfortunately, the psychotic stalker follows Savannah to the sister. As in Just Desserts (LJ 4/1/95), Savannah is the main draw here, with her wicked humor, intrusive appetite, and quintessential Southern sensibilities. Fun reading.

4.0étoiles sur 5 I really like this series..., Mai 30 2004
Par Thomas Duff "Duffbert" (Portland, OR United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Bitter Sweets (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.

4.0étoiles sur 5 G.A. McKevitt-is a pseudonym - is she really Fanny Flagg, Aoû 26 1999
Par Un client
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.

3.0étoiles sur 5 Improbable plot twist ruins otherwise good book, Janv. 8 1999
Par Un client
This review is from: Bitter Sweets (Mass Market Paperback)
This book, as with the previous book in this series, Just Desserts, has interesting characters, great descriptions, and good pacing. However, this book was ruined by an improbable plot twist...Without this plot lapse, the book would have been entertaining.
