The Ladies do it again.

Would you listen to Murder Shoots the Bull again? Why?

Yes. There are so many twists and turns you need to pay attention. I often get distracted while driving and need to rewind.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

The ladies are always interesting. Very entertaining. We don't do these in sequence which would be nice but not essential. The characters are richly developed and easy to follow along.

What does Ruth Ann Phimister bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Her voice and tone are excellent. She is very funny. I love the interactions between the sisters. She does them both very well.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

The series always entertains. I would not call it great literature but we love to listen to these ladies solve crimes while driving.

goodbook

this series is a good escape from the world and it's problems. a great distraction

Hillariously entertaining cozy. Great Narrator.

This is a wonderfully entertaining murder mystery that keeps you laughing and engaged the whole time. I love Anne George's Southern Sisters series , and Phimster's narration is perfect!

So sad, I've finished them all :(

Can't say enough wonderful things about the late Anne George. I so wish there were more Patricia Anne and Mary Alice adventures to enjoy. They make me think of my Grandmas, one from West Virginia and one from Texas.

I accidentally read this one, which is #6, after Murder Carries a Torch, but it didn't really make any difference.

If you haven't discovered these delightful books yet, you are in for a real treat!
