From Booklist
Mary Alice is a large, ladylike woman, even if she has buried three husbands and keeps revising her age downward. Her younger sister, Patricia Anne, tiny, brazen, on the far side of 60, has been contentedly married to the same man for decades. In a Birmingham, Alabama, world full of families who have known each other forever, the two sisters find themselves looking for the real culprit when Patricia Anne's longtime neighbor finds himself accused of murdering his first wife. In other events in this southern honey-flavored cozy, Patricia Anne finds her son's wife camped in her living room when her son strays and is coaxed into e-mail when her daughter moves to Warsaw; and Mary Alice lies outrageously about her age to impress a new British suitor. Woofer the dog tangles with a possum (and loses), old newspaper articles provide vital clues, and iced tea and food of all sorts figure mightily. GraceAnne A. DeCandido

Format:Taschenbuch
Patricia Anne and Mary Alice are always fun. This book is the sixth in a series of Southern sisters (say THAT fast!) mysteries and like its predecessors, the gals are at it again. One of the most humorous overtones is their 'Southerness', their desire to be prim and proper ladies, and still be the originals that they are. In this case, they join a ladies investment club and solve a tangled tale of murder and greed. Through it all, their world is populated by incompetant officials, lecherous bankers, and a next door neighbor man who is seen about town with a variety of voluptous women.
The plot is skillfully told: Anne George is clearly a writer who is a master at manipulating language for a colorful and delightful reader experience.
This is a delightful book, and I am eagerly awaiting the next in this series.

Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
The Southern Sisters are a hoot and a half. I found this series almost exactly a year ago and have read them all. Start with the first one Murder on a Girl's Night Out and read, read, read.
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
That is exactly what happened when I read a particular paragraph in the book about the funeral of the woman Mitzi's husband is accused of killing. I have read all of Anne's books, and although it is difficult to choose, I think Murder Shoots the Bull is my favourite. It is rare that I buy a hardcover, but I take exception with the Southern Sisters mysteries. I love the 'girls' and the talent of their creator, Anne George. I love a good light hearted mystery, and it doesn't hurt that I actually learn something in each of them...be it about folk art or endangered animals. In this one, I learned it's not a good idea to be entomed on a windy day! Thanks Anne, for another great book.
