 THE RUINED DUCHESS |
|
The world of Mary Kay Andrews, where manners are polished, reputations are tarnished... and revenge is sweet.
Savannah #2 Southern belle BeBe Loudermilk loses all her worldly possessions thanks to a brief but disastrous relationship with the gorgeous Reddy, an "investment counselor" who turns out to be a con man. All that's left is a ramshackle 1950s motor court on Tybee Island--an eccentric beach town that calls itself a drinking village with a fishing problem. Breeze Inn is a place where BeBe wouldn't normally be caught dead but, with no alternative, she moves into one of the units, vowing to make magic out of mud. The work is grueling, especially dealing with the cantankerous caretaker, a fishing captain named Harry. With the help of Harry and BeBe's junking friend Weezie, she soon has the motel spiffed up and attracting paying guests. Then there's a sighting of Reddy in Fort Lauderdale, so BeBe puts together a posse and heads after him.
