McBride, Susan. Blue Blood. New York : Avon, 2004. $6.50.
Book 1 in the Debutante Dropout series. Andrea Kendricks has never fit
into her Mother's high society world, eschewing her coming out party
after her father's death and actually working (as a webpage designer)
instead of finding the RIGHT husband. Andrea is drawn into proving her
friend's innocence when the friend is arrested for the murder of her
lecherous boss and the police feel they do not need to investigate
further. Both worldly and totally innocent Andrea finds herself in
predicaments that even she is not sure how she walked away. Ms. McBride
writes a breezy murder mystery with enough unpredictable characters and
twists that is enjoyable to read. Recommended 9th and up. (Lots of
discussion of female body parts, just more of an adult read.)
