5.0 out of 5 stars Just a hoot!!, September 15, 1999

This review is from: Murder Shoots the Bull:: A Southern Sisters Mystery (Southern Sisters Mysteries) (Hardcover)

These sisters keep you laughing, make you think and truly make you miss your sister or wish you had one. This book just keeps you looking for the next one---and makes you re-read the others while you wait.

The best gift I've given my friends, according to them, was an introduction to this series of books

This review is from: Murder Shoots the Bull: A Southern Sisters Mystery (Southern Sisters Mysteries) (Mass Market Paperback)

Anne George is one of my favorite authors. The Southern Sisters are hilarious. Patricia Anne, the skinny retired teacher, once again teams up with her sister Mary Alice, the widowed three times sister to solve a murder.

In this story there is a complicated cast of characters that Anne George manages to gather together in a murder mystery. The long time next door neighbor is under suspicion for murder and their house burns down. Throughout all of this the sisters manage to join an investment club, solve the murder, and deal with a daughter in law who moves in. In the end, everything turns out just fine.

I laughed out loud at Mary Alice's story of what happened of Ruffner Mountain

Enjoy.

This review is from: Murder Shoots the Bull:: A Southern Sisters Mystery (Southern Sisters Mysteries) (Hardcover)

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.
