Hissy Fit
By Mary Kay Andrews
Read
by Isabel Keating
After
finding her fiancé, A.J. Jernigan, and her maid of honor,
Page, intimately christening the Clubs board room table, Keeley
Murdock, a sober, respectable, 32 year-old, professional interior
designer, becomes a deranged force of nature and pitches
a hissy fit. After shaking Pages red panties on high,
swiping expensive crystal off a table, smashing customize snuff
boxes, and scribbling an insult on her former fiancés
fancy car, Keeley Murdocks life takes a major change.
Will
Mahoney new to the community -- witnesses the conclusion
of Keeleys hissy fit. He makes light of the moment, and unfortunately
for him, she remembers it when he tries to hire her. Mahoney needs
someone to redo the old mansion hes bought. The mansion is
the key to the heart of a beautiful lawyer at least he hopes.
Keeley soon learns Mahoney also bought the local bra plant and rumors
are mixed as to his plans for it. Community fear is outsourcing
and closing.
With
Savannah Blues and Little Bitty Lies already behind
her, Mary Kay Andrewss humor is well known. Hissy Fit
is a fine example of how a crisis, like a wedding rehearsal fiscal,
can bring out the peculiarities of many, and eventually the truths
of all involved. The storyline ranges from hilarious, to racy, to
touching. Its definitely a novel to remember.
Actress
Isabel Keating narrates Hissy Fit with a thick southern
accent. Hearing Pages sluttish screech, Keelys determined
tone, and Daddy Jernigans deep, arrogant drawl, adds even
more humor to Andrews social satire, making Hissy Fit
an entertaining listen. Consider it a mature listen and remember
those headphones.
