Hissy Fit
If,
on the night before your wedding, while celebrating at the
rehearsal dinner with all your closest friends and family, you
happened upon your husband-to-be having sex with your
maid-of-honor, what would you do?
Well, if you're Keeley Murdock, you'd throw a whopper of a hissy
fit.
So starts HISSY FIT, by Mary Kay Andrews. Keeley becomes the talk
of Madison, Georgia when she not only cancels her wedding 24 hours
before the big event, but also trashes her father's club on the
night she discovers her fiancé's infidelity. Her ex's family
--- embarrassed that Keeley has dumped him, wealthy, influential
and incredibly vengeful --- begins to play havoc with Keeley's
professional reputation as a high-end interior designer. As jobs
start to disappear, Keeley and her aunt begin to despair that they
will be ruined. But, hey, this is the South, and the kindness of
strangers abounds.
The new guy in town --- the redheaded stranger who bought the
dilapidated bra factory --- hires Keeley to revive a run-down,
antiquated mansion in just six months! The task is Herculean, but
Keeley's reputation is at stake, so she dives in. Little did Keeley
know that the new job and the kind stranger would lead to a mystery
at the heart of the town.
With Mary Kay Andrews's trademark sense of humor, HISSY FIT is a
funny and quirky satire of class, etiquette and southern
sensibilities. A hilarious lead character, combined with the hints
of a mystery and lavish and luxurious decorating hints, make for
another hit from Andrews.
