Southern Sisters mystery #3. Nothing like a huge family wedding to bring folks together—or drive wedges between them! One of the guests at Sister’s daughter’s wedding—a houseguest of Sister, even—apparently commits suicide not a half hour after having lunch with Mary Alice and Patricia Anne, where she seemed perfectly happy and chatted animatedly. Suspicious? Well, some people think so. This installment centered around genealogical research and while it was a nice visit with the enjoyable Sisters again, I found many parts of it to be just too contrived and stretching the boundaries of coincidence, or whatever. I read this one immediately following the previous book in the series, and you really do notice patterns and predictable trends when you read series back to back like this.

LOVE THESE CRAZY SISITERS

Got me interested in my own family tree!

Another book by George to love. The sisters are a riot. Good mystery. Surprise at the end.

In this mystery, Mary Alice's daughter gets married. One of the wedding guests is Meg March Bryan, a genealogist, and a guest from the groom's side of the family. Patricia Anne and Mary Alice become friends with Meg and go to lunch with her. The lunch goes well, until their guest hurries away without her two briefcases. Soon after that the sisters learn that Meg killed herself by jumping off the building across the street. The sister detectives get involved with her death which they don't believe was a suicide.

What I love about this book is the sisters. Patricia Anne, a former English teacher and married to Fred for over forty years, is a tiny and proper lady. Her sister,Mary Alice is her opposite in every way. She's a big, beautiful women at 250 lbs. She describes herself as being 5 foot 12 inches tall and she's looking for a fourth husband. Rich men just lover her. The characters are loveable. The stories are hilarious.

I have found each of Ms. George's books laugh out loud funny.

Patricia Anne and Sister are so much like my own family. A lovely sense of humor and smarts, quick and funny to read. Much like Stephanie Plum for seniors.

Fun cozy

The Southern Sisters are great in Mary Alice's daughters wedding. OF course murder follows.

Good light mystery I really enjoyed this book

From back of book:

Mary Alice has spared nothing for her only daughter's wedding -- from seventy-five yards of bridal train to gourmet food for over three hundred guests and enough glittering elegance to make Mary Alice think about finding herself a fourth rich husband to pay for it all.
Practical Patricia Anne has put away her aunt-of-the-bride blue chiffon and settled back into domesticity when fun-loving Mary Alice calls to say they have a post-wedding date with a genealogist from the groom's side of the family. Lunch is a fascinating lesson on the hazards of finding dirty linens in ancestral boudoirs that ends abruptly when their guest scurries off with the local judge, leaving the sisters with their mouths open -- and finishing their luncheon companion's cheesecake -- when the police arrive.

Their mysterious guest has taken a plunge from the ninth floor of the courthouse building -- an apparent suicide. But given the scandals a nosy genealogist might have uncovered, the sisters are betting that some proud Southern family is making sure their shameful secrets stay buried. . .along with anyone who tries to dig them up.

Mary Alice and Patricia Anne are a terrific combination!
