Summary: AWESOME Debut Novel - First in Anticipated New Series
Comment: Sheer delight to read. Enticing from the first chapter and keeps you reading. A great "Who Dunnit" which will suprise you at the end who the actual killer is. GREAT and a definate must read.

Author Susan McGrath is a delight. She's written back to me to let me know that her 2nd installment to this new series "THE GOOD GIRL'S GUIDE TO MURDER", will be out in February of 2005. I can't wait.

Please DO buy this book, you will not be disappointed!

Summary: Excellent Read
Comment: Andy Kendricks has decided to not follow in her mother's footsteps and become a debutante. Instead, Andy is satisfied with her comfortable job as a website designer and small living space. Andy is also known for her loyalty so it's not a shock that her old friend, Molly, comes to her for help. Molly has been accused of a murder that she insists she didn't do. Andy is able to have her mother hire a lawyer for Molly but he doesn't believe in her innocence so Andy decides to take matters into her own hands. She begins an investigation that, if she is not careful, could cost her her life.
Blue Blood is vastly different from Susan McBride's previous work and it proves that she can write on both sides of the spectrum. Blue Blood is a wonderful book filled with the best characters that I have come across. Andy is not only a person that I enjoy reading about, she is someone to admire. Every aspect of this book is fine tuned to perfection. I can't wait for the next book in the series and I look forward to the success that Susan McBride should enjoy from this book.

Summary: Snicker out loud
Comment: Drop-out debutante Andrea "Andy" Kendrick receives a plea out of the blue from her former best friend from prep school. Molly O'Brien, whom Andy's high-society mother, Cissy, calls "that scholarship girl," has been arrested for murder and she wants Andy to take care of her little boy.

Though Andy hasn't heard from Molly in ten years, she jumps into the fray--rescuing the boy (and dumping him at her mother's Highland Park mansion, much to Cissy's dismay). She just knows Molly could never possibly kill someone under any circumstances, and she is determined to prove her friend's innocence. With the help of Molly's inexperienced (but cute) lawyer, Andy delves into the mystery, going so far as to get herself hired at the "Hooters"-type restaurant where the murder took place, and where Molly worked as a waitress. In purple hot pants and a stuffed bra, she gathers the evidence against the suspects, which include a randy televangelist, a former Dallas Cowboys cheerleader, a rabid activist who regularly pickets the restaurant, a mysterious silent partner, and a host of sexually harassed waitresses.

This is a cute read, with an amusingly eccentric cast of characters. Though I felt Andy was inexcusably reckless at times (like when she barges into a motel room where she knows the possible murderer is having illicit sex), I couldn't help cheering for her. And though the humor felt a bit forced in places, I did snicker out loud several times. This is a must-read for anyone within or on the fringes of Dallas high society. The author certainly nails that world.
