Eadie Boone, an artist and former beauty queen, tackles everything with gusto and flair. But tailing her wayward husband is proving to be an exasperating chore.
Nita Broadwell, a good Southern girl from a good Southern family, is jolted out of complacency when she discovers condoms in her husband’s shirt pocket. Meanwhile, she is slipping into a steamy romance with a hunky handyman thirteen years her junior.
Lavonne Zibolsky is saddled with planning the annual Broadwell & Boone law firm party. That and her lackluster marriage have her seeking solace in the refrigerator.
Bound by years of friendship, the women heed their collective spousal betrayals as a wake-up call and band together to exact sweet revenge. The take-charge trio will see to it that the punishment is just, exquisitely humiliating, and downright hilarious.
Marguerite Gavin's smooth and clever delivery provides a most enjoyable listening experience as three Georgia housewives, Nita, Eadie, and Lavonne, discover that their lawyer husbands cheat yearly with paid talent on their annual hunting trip. In a book reminiscent of THE FIRST WIVES CLUB, but with a drawl, the kudzu debutantes--sassy and smart, fun and funny--make you cheer as you applaud their bonds of friendship and marvel at the many ways a wronged woman can take her revenge, served up plenty cold, but with lots of Southern style. This is listening to be to be savored. A.C.P. (c) AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine
Booklist...
'Hell hath no fury, as the saying goes, and the wives concoct a deliciously devious scheme….Irresistibly entertaining, Holton's debut is hilarious, a cunning, rollicking addition to the popular Southern ‘steel magnolias’ genre.'
