The synopsis: TAKE ONE OUT OF WORK PASTY CHEF….Teeny Templeton believes that her life is finally on track. She’s getting married, she’s baking her own wedding cake, and she’s leaving her troubled past behind. And then? She finds her fiancé playing naked badminton with a couple of gorgeous, skanky chicks.
ADD A WHOLE LOT OF TROUBLE…
Needless to say, the wedding is off. Adding insult to injury, her fiancé slaps a restraining order on her. When he is found dead a few days later, all fingers point to Teeny.

AND STIR LIKE CRAZY!
Her only hope is through an old boyfriend-turned-lawyer, the guy who broke her heart a decade ago. But dredging up the past brings more than skeletons out of the closet, and Teeny doesn't know who she can trust. With evidence mounting and the heat turning up, Teeny must also figure out where to live, how to support herself, how to clear her name, and how to protect her heart.

My thoughts: Michael Lee West is the quintessential Southern Chick Lit writer, and I love her for it. Her novels always have zany characters, fast paced plots, and demure ditzy southern women with heavy drawls leaping out of the pages at you, ready to entertain and sometimes catch you completely off guard with the twists that I never see coming. Love her, this may be my favorite books of hers to date. And I loved her Crazy Women in Love series, so for Gone (which I believe is the first in a series) to bump Crazy Women? Well I highly recommend this charmingly funny novel.
