Book 26 of 26: Savannah Reid Mysteries

See all formats and editions

Plus-sized PI Savannah Reid and her Moonlight Magnolia Detective Agency tackle another case of murder in the long-running, critically acclaimed series from G. A. McKevett.

Between being a mom to her new foster son and arranging a lavish wedding for her sister, things are messy, unpredictable, and delightfully fulfilling for Savannah these days. She even gains an impressive friend: Dr. Carolyn Erling, a caring veterinarian with a deeper story than her down-to-earth nature suggests. When Savannah attends a birthday bash for Dr. Carolyn’s husband, she’s astonished to find that her no-frills acquaintance resides in a pristine hilltop mansion with Dr. Stephen Erling, a jet-setter brain surgeon boasting throngs of A-list patients around the globe. Before Savannah can get a headcount on the mingling celebrities, Dr. Stephen has one too many champagne toasts and drops dead.

With a poisonous residue found inside Dr. Stephen’s glass, the search is on for the killer who spiked his drink. Motivated to set things right for a devastated Dr. Carolyn, Savannah must infiltrate the elite world of foreign dignitaries and Oscar-winning stars to identify the guilty culprit—or prepare to kiss this happy chapter in her life goodbye.

“Entertaining . . . Series fans and newcomers alike will enjoy spending time with Savannah and friends.” —Publishers Weekly

My favorite Series

Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2021

I have read all of the Savannah Reid series. Love every character, esp. the addition of little Mr. Brody Greyson. The story lines are so well done with murder and humor thrown in. The colorful southern sayings have me laughing. This is the best series that I have read. My only problem with these books is that I can't put them down and the end comes to fast. Will be waiting for the next book.

A Cozy Cup of Murder

Lovely entry in long-running cozy series.

Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2021

I received this ARC via Netgalley and Kensington Books, in return for an honest review. While the latest book in a series, it is easily read as a standalone. Savannah Reid, former police officer and current PI, is juggling lots of life issues. She and her husband, police detective, Dirk, are fostering a wonderful little boy, Brody, whom they’d previously rescued from an abusive mother. Brody Greyson has a big heart and an occasional mouthiness to match. Savannah and Dirk, as first-time parents, are navigating how to deal with all kinds of issues in helping Brody heal emotionally from the abuse. One area that really helps Brody is his volunteering at a local animal hospital, owned by the amazing Dr. Carolyn. Receiving, via Brody, an unexpected invitation to Dr. Carolyn’s husband’s birthday party, Savannah and Dirk are unpleasantly surprised by Dr. Stephen’s behavior and attitudes. When he turns up dead, was it deliberate or divine justice? Savannah is hired by Dr. Carolyn to find the truth, regardless of where it leads, even as Dirk is officially investigating all the many suspects.
This was my first time reading this series and there is much to enjoy. The author writes with a deft touch about the impacts of childhood poverty and abuse on Savannah, Dirk, Brody and Savannah’s family. That they found each other and are able to be loving and supportive is really good reading. The mystery is well-crafted, and the logic of the many suspects is well-reasoned. A solid cozy.

Loved the storyline and the solving of the crimes. But, I appreciated more the continued character building of strong women, men and the small wounded child in them all.

I like the family being so close to each other. Great mystery. As usual Savanna was right in the thick of things when there was a murder.
