Private detective Savannah Reid isn’t your average crime-fighting heroine. Middle-aged and overweight—at least by society’s skinny-winnie standards—Savannah has the audacity to love herself anyway. If there’s anything the sassy Dixie belle enjoys more than cooking soul-satisfying food for her friends and family, it’s nabbing bad guys and plopping them on the scales of Lady Justice. Having relocated to Southern California, this unconventional Georgia peach and the equally eccentric members of her Moonlight Magnolia Detective Agency live to take a tasty bite out of crime in the sleepy, seaside town of San Carmelita.
Now that former policewoman, overly-voluptuous, food-lovin’ Savannah Reid has no badge and no income, she’s not sure where her next box of Godiva truffles is coming from. So, when her new private detective agency gets its first client, the Moonlight Magnolia gang is dancing in their collective bloomers. But their joyful circumstances quickly turn tragic, when Savannah fails to keep a vicious predator from his innocent prey in BITTER SWEETS.
