Y’all, it feels like ages since I read a book!! Lately I’ve spent my evenings getting caught up on Once Upon a Time with John on Hulu. It’s kind of fun that he’s old enough to watch shows with me now, but I didn’t realize how much I missed getting lost between the pages of a book. But I digress…
When I arrived at Some Beach, Sister had an autographed copy of Mary Kay Andrews’ newest book, The Weekenders, with a personalized note waiting on my bedside table.
She is one of my very favorite authors and I always look forward to her new releases. Many of them are set in Savannah, Atlanta and the South and all are good for some laughs, maybe a few tears, a little romance and a lot of Southern humor. One thing that set this one apart from the rest was that it also had a fantastic murder mystery as a key plot line! Sister and I had our very own “Some Beach Book Club” each reading it at same time :-)
Some people stay all summer long on the idyllic island of Belle Isle, North Carolina. Others come only for the weekends-and the mix between the regulars and “the weekenders” can sometimes make the sparks fly. Riley Griggs has a season of good times with friends and family ahead of her on Belle Isle when things take an unexpected turn. While waiting for her husband to arrive on the ferry one Friday afternoon, Riley is confronted by a process server who thrusts papers into her hand. And her husband is nowhere to be found.
So she turns to her island friends for help and support, but it turns out that each of them has their own secrets, and the clock is ticking as the mystery deepens…in a murderous way. Cocktail parties aside, Riley must find a way to investigate the secrets of Belle Island, the husband she might not really know, and the summer that could change everything.
We are headed back to school in two weeks, but for those of you with more summer left, this is also a great read for the beach bag. I have never read a Mary Kay Andrews book that I didn’t positively adore.
I just ordered a paperback of Gone With the Wind and can’t wait to revisit an old favorite. It’s been eons!! I’d love to know what you’re reading.
