Honey, these are not your momma's grannies...
When Lillian Summer Fairview's husband up and dies on her, it leaves the last living member of the most prestigious family in Summer Shoals, Georgia, in a hot mess. While Lil was busy being a proper Southern lady, Harlan squandered dang near the whole family fortune on lottery tickets. To keep her financial skeletons in the closet and give him a decent burial, Lil made a deal that has now landed her in prison.
Desperate to keep her troubles a secret and the family estate from falling down while she pays her debt to society, Lil entrusts Summer Haven's care to her best friend, Maggie, who recruits two more over-fifty ladies to live at Summer Haven and help keep it afloat.
But when Maggie discovers that Lil's restitution is ten times the amount she "borrowed" from the federal government, she's convinced Lil has taken the fall for someone else's crime. And these gals will use every trick in their little-old-lady bags to prove it.

Guts and Grey Hair...
This adventure, mystery, out of the ordinary story of sleuthing and retribution had me guessing and laughing at the same time.
I can't think of anyone who would not thoroughly enjoy reading this book.
I intend to watch for more in The Granny Series!
Hysterical! I"m still laughing!
I am writing this review with a huge smile on my face because I just finished this hilarious book. From this point on, I will always smile when I think of the grannies because it was one of the funniest books I have read. I laughed through most of it. Somehow, even the serious parts were kind of funny. These grannies are just hysterical! One of the best things about this book is you see the silliness from all perspectives. You see it from the grannies' perspectives, which actually makes all of their actions seem rational and make sense, such as climbing up onto the roof. However, you also see it from a non-granny character's point of view, such as Teague, which makes the grannies seem crazy. My favorite parts are the toilet scene, and then the fight scene towards the end. Plus, Lillian's "vacation resort" and how she handles being there was just great. This whole book was just wonderful! It can take anyone's frown and turn it upside down. It is impossible to not love each and every one of these characters. Such a great book! I highly recommend it, but be careful where you read it. I got some weird looks when I read it at work or in public because I would just randomly start laughing out loud. :)
Great read and lots of fun. Hated that the book just did not go on and on..
If you are looking for a well writen story,with great characters and is just plain fun to read, this is the book for you. They are not your every day grannies but you will identify with them right from the start. I am looking forward to the next book in the series. To the authors, You guys rock!!
Revenge is Fun series. Publisher Vinny Vitali deserves to be whacked, but for some reason he's like a cat with 9 lives. He's holding a mob widow's memoir hostage and the authors want to kill him, but he won't die.
Revenge is Fun series. Cameron and Kate unravel twists and turns in this clever crime caper. Kim and Kate pay a visit to Cameron in Los Angeles, but never dream they will go undercover to help crack an ingenious drug money laundering scheme.
