A Different Kind of Sister Act

Patricia Anne-- "Mouse" --is respectful, respectable, and demure, a perfect example of genteel Southern womanhood. Mary Alice--"Sister"--is big, brassy, flamboyant, and bold. Together they have a knack for finding themselves in the center of some of Birmingham's most unfortunate unpleasantness.

Country Western is red hot these days, so overimpulsive Mary Alice thinks it makes perfect sense to buy the Skoot 'n' Boot bar--since that's where the many-times-divorced "Sister" and her boyfriend du jour like to hang out anyway. Sensible retired schoolteacher Patricia Anne is inclined to disagree--especially when they find a strangled and stabbed dead body dangling in the pub's wishing well. The sheriff has some questions for Mouse and her sister Sister, who were the last people, besides the murderer, of course, to see the ill-fated victim alive. And they had better come up with some answers soon--because a killer with unfinished business has begun sending them some mighty threatening messages...

It was the title that caught my eye at first..but once I started reading I couldnt put it down. A laugh out loud mystery, Girl's Night Out is a fabulous introduction to the Southern Sisters mystery series. I've re- read they first 2 pages so often, I think I have them memorized. And still I laugh when I read them. The relationships between the two sisters, and the younger sister and her husband are terrific. The plot is just average, and there are some tangled relationships in this book, but you'll love the characters and the setting.

Thank you Anne George for creating the most enjoyable crime solvers I have come across since Kinsey Milhone or Stephanie Plum.

EXCELLENT
