Book Reviews of Blue Blood (Debutante Dropout Mysteries, No. 1)
Book Review: A great chick-lit mystery
Summary: 5 Stars
Andy Kendrick receives a desperate call from Molly O'Brien. She hasn't seen or heard from Molly for ten years. They were best friends in school even though they were not of the same social class. Molly was a scholarship student. Andy was a debutate, although she never really ran in her mother's high society circles and is now a debutante dropout.
Molly is being charged with murdering her boss, Bud Hartman. She asks Andy to help her out. Andy gets her mother Cissy, much to her chagrin, to call a lawyer for Molly. Andy ends up dropping off Molly's six-year-old son David at Cissy's doorstep while she tries to help get Molly out of jail.
Brian Malone does not impress Andy as a go-getter attorney. She doesn't feel he is really looking out for Molly's best interests. So, Andy decides to go under cover as a waitress at Jugs, a Hooters-type restaurant, where Molly had worked. For some reason Julie, Bud's girlfriend who now runs Jugs, takes a liking to Andy. She ends up inviting her to Bud's funeral. Why would Reverend Jim-Bob, a well-known televangelist be willing to preside over Bud's funeral?
Then there's the Mothers Against Pornography run by nurse Peggy Martin. Why is she so adamant against Jugs?
Where is this waitress that left overnight a few weeks before? Why did she leave and never even return for her paycheck?
Andy finds herself in some interesting and even dangerous situations as she tries to discover who really killed Bud and framed Molly.
This is the first book I've read in this series, but it won't be the last. I truly enjoyed Andy and her antics. I think she and Malone will make a good team in future books. They feed off each other really well. Her mother really adds character to the story as well. I found myself laughing out loud several times while reading this book. I highly recommend it.
Summary of Blue Blood (Debutante Dropout Mysteries, No. 1)
To the dismay of her high society mother Cissy, Dallas heiress Andy Kendricks wants no part of the Junior League life -- opting instead for a job as a website designer and a passel of unpedigreed pals. Now her good friend Molly O'Brien is in bad trouble, accused of killing her boss at the local restaurant "Jugs." Though no proper deb would ever set foot in such a sleazy dive, Andy's soon slipping into skintight hot pants and a stuffed triple-D bra to gain employment there and somehow help clear Molly's name. But Andy's undercover lark is soon bringing her into too-close contact with all manner of dangerous adversaries -- including a shady TV preacher, a fanatical Mothers Against Porn activist ... and a killer who is none too keen on meddling rich girls.
