Savannah is enjoying her role being Auntie Savannah to
her niece, Vanna Rose, when a new case hits too close to
home. Actor Ethan Malloy hires Savannah and the Midnight
Magnolia Detective Agency to locate his missing wife,
child, and nanny. Unfortunately, the nanny is soon found
dead and Savannah doesn't have a lot of suspects to
choose from. Are Beth and Freddy still alive? Meanwhile,
the paparazzi has caught wind of the case and Savannah's
brother, Waycross, is forced to spend time with his in-
laws. Can Savannah juggle her case while providing
support for her own family?
It's been a while since I read a Savannah
Reid
mystery and now I'm questioning why the heck I've taken
so long a hiatus from this series! HIDE AND SNEAK was a
whole lot of fun and had me hooked from the very first
page. The relationship between Savannah and her husband,
Detective Sergeant Dirk Coulter, is both endearing and
realistic while the supporting cast of the Midnight
Magnolia Detective Agency is nothing short of fantastic!
HIDE AND SNEAK is the 23rd book in the Savannah
Reid series but can easily stand on its own merits.
G.A. McKevett does a great job at giving the reader
enough background history so that the reader can
appreciate the bond that exists between all the members
of the Midnight Magnolia Detective Agency. The story
line with the dreaded in-laws appears to be the first
meeting between Waycross and Tamitha's parents, which
helps new readers (or ones like me who pop in and out of
the series in random order) to quickly acclimate to the
characters and their relationships.
I'm definitely going to be going back to earlier books
and visiting (and revisiting) G.A. McKevett's earlier
books as I'd had forgotten just how much fun they are to
read! Savannah epitomizes what it means to be a
Southerner and I love her all the more for her own love
of good home cooking. In fact, I want a plate of her
homemade chocolate chip cookies after finishing HIDE AND
SNEAK. If you love cozy mysteries, down home Southern
cooking, and characters who show the bonds of family love
(even if they aren't related by DNA), then you're sure to
love HIDE AND SNEAK!
As one of nine siblings raised in the Deep South, plus-
sized P.I. Savannah Reid has experienced her share of
family drama. But shotgun weddings and snooty in-laws
don’t worry her nearly as much as a search for a missing
mother and child—especially when it leads to murder . . .
Savannah and her husband have settled back in San
Carmelita, California, and life is slowly returning to
normal—if “normal” means babysitting newlyweds Tammy and
Waycross’s incredibly fussy infant daughter. But soothing
a squalling baby is kid’s stuff compared to the Midnight
Magnolia Detective Agency’s latest case. Handsome up-and-
coming actor Ethan Malloy has enlisted the help of
Savannah and Co. in a desperate attempt to track down his
missing wife and toddler, not long before the beloved
family nanny gets murdered.
With the police involved and paparazzi swarming at every
turn, the discreet search becomes a sensationalized
homicide investigation, leaving Savannah rushing to
apprehend the killer and save the missing child. Famous
heartthrobs can attract the wrong kind of attention, and
some snooping into the complicated private lives of Ethan
and his wife tells Savannah that she’s in for a deadly
chase. As Savannah dismantles bombshell after bombshell
while balancing delicate family matters of her own, she
soon finds herself closing in on a terrifying culprit—one
who’s willing to do anything for a moment in the
spotlight . . .
