Publisher's summary

Anne George’s best-selling Southern Sisters mysteries offer delightful mixtures of offbeat characters, charming humor, and intriguing crimes.

In Murder Gets a Life, middle-aged sisters Mary Alice and Patricia Ann are sleuthing their way through a mystery that is hotter than Alabama in August. Mary Alice’s son has married Sunshine, a petite blond who is cute as a button. Her family, however, lives in a junk-filled trailer compound dotted with rusty engines and pit bulls.

When Mary Alice and Patricia Ann pay a call on the family, the sisters hardly have time to meet Sunshine’s spirit-channeling grandmother before they stumble over a large corpse on her floor. The local sheriff just can’t seem to get moving in the summer heat. So it’s up to the Southern Sisters to discover who the dead man is, and why Sunshine has suddenly disappeared.

So grab a glass of sweet tea and get ready to spend a few hours with two of the most resourceful sleuths south of the Mason-Dixon line.

loved it!!

Anne George has captured the warmth and fun of sisterhood!! Also a grest mystery as well.

Hilarious and Beautiful!

These two sisters are joy to follow. The narration is lively and keeps you entertained!

Best Entertainment Ever!

Those sisters are so much like my sister and me! We laughed through the whole first part of this story. The seriousness of the
most part was very exciting and good. We love these stories and
the narrator is great. My sister is also a Ruth Ann! Thank you for
a great what to spend our day together. We too are their age, but our life is boring!

Absolutely hilarious.

I didn't think there could be any one more quirky and eccentric then mouse and sister. That is until sister acquired a new set of in-laws, or maybe you should call them outlaws. So hilarious I kept my husband up all night by laughing out loud, couldn't put it down.

GREAT Series!!!

I am really enjoying this series!! The narrator is absolutely believable and adds SO much to the stories. I feel like I know the characters. I've been captivated by each story so far and am already looking forward to the next one. They're easy to follow, have plenty of humor, and are so entertaining.

I think readers who are from small towns, are middle aged (like I am), or enjoy more of a "clean" story would especially like this series.

Love, love, love this series!

Would you listen to Murder Gets a Life again? Why?

I have listened to it many times.

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

Yes.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

The whole series would be great as a tv series.

the banter

love it would recommend all day long the personneilties are so creative just like real sisters we love each other but boy can we get on each others nerves

Old southern Belles meet trailer trash rich

Hysterically funny tale Reminds me in many ways of my grandmother and her friends in their way of behavior and speech.

My favorite series of all time! Very enjoyable!

I love the Southern Sisters Mysteries! I have listened to them many many times over the years. The characters are great and you really can't wait to see what happens next!
