Book Description:
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...

I read this whole series and loved it! We were sad when we discovered Anne George had passed away, because we would have loved to read more from her. Four generations of us have read these books (my grandma, my mom, my daughter, and myself), and we all loved them. I even bought them for my mother-in-law, and I wouldn't buy her anything that was offensive in any way. There are some funny innuendos, but the book isn't offensive or obscee, just funny. The interaction between the sisters is delightful, and the relationship of the one sister and her long-time husband is very real and sweet.
Highly recommended to anyone. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did!!

If the rest of this series is as good as this, I'm in for some good reading! Two sisters - in their sixties, in the South. Likeable characters, nearly believable situations and a very well "scripted" mystery. I'm only sorry that Ms. George has passed away and there won't be more than the eight she wrote! A great sense of humor and a strong sense of self! I think you will enjoy this book!

Hilarious book about a pair of sisters in their 60's who get caught up in crime. You will get to love both them and their families.

I think I am really going to like this series. I have just started the second book and I like as much as the first. I can relate to the two sisters even if I have three myself.
Bonnie A. (Hysterically funny series! They are set in Birmingham, AL. Unfortunately Anne George is no longer with us, but I know she has them ROFL in heaven! This whole series-6 books I think-are really good.
A new series for me. Absolutely hilarious! If you like Janet Evanovich, you'll love these too.
I loved this book, looking forward to the others in the series. These two are a hoot.
Elaine (This is the first in a series and I will read the others as I loved this one. It is a cozy mystery and just what I was in the mood for. It has a lot of twists and turns and keeps your interest. Patricia Ann and her family are people you will want to visit with again.
Kay (This isn't a real whodunit since she doesn't quite give you enough pieces to solve the crime yourself, but it is a fun book with a couple of characters you may enjoy spending a couple of hours with.
Joanne A. (I love the Southern Sisters. Their adventures are often hilarious.
