Murder on a Girl's Night Out

De: Anne George

Narrado por: Ruth Ann Phimister

Novelist Anne George injects murder, mayhem, and laughs into her popular mysteries. Nominated for an Agatha Award, this hilarious tale of two “60 something” sisters reveals the deadly consequences of a hasty real estate purchase.

Retired Alabama school teacher Patricia Anne thinks her older sister, flamboyant Mary Alice, has lost her cotton-pickin’ mind. On a whim, Mary Alice bought the Skoot ’n’ Boot, the local country western night spot where she and her boyfriend hang out. Mary Alice insists it will be easy to run the club - until the previous owner is found executed, gangland style, in the club’s wishing well. Suddenly the sheriff is demanding answers, and a killer with unfinished business is sending messages even optimistic Mary Alice can’t ignore.

With her dramatic sense of timing, narrator Ruth Ann Phimister brings out both the wise-cracking fun and the nail-biting suspense.

The Narrator

To be fair, I read these before I listened to them and the narrator doesn't work for me. Sorry I bought this series.

Party On with Family!

Read the whole series a few years back and Laughed so hard! Mystery wrapped with much family humor - Southern Charm! Listening to the story still sends me into chuckles and lots of laughter. Lighthearted mystery for an enjoyable listen!

best narrator ever

I love this book! I could listen to the narrator over and over. the rest of the series is just as good.

Wonderful Read!!!

So much fun!! These sisters are hilarious!! The narrator makes the story!!!! Can’t wait for the next one!

As good as the print edition!

It’s not so often that I enjoy an audiobook more than the print edition. But in this case, the narrator did such a fantastic job, that the book came to life in a special way for me.

This is a great series of books. Real cozy mysteries. Funny. But, where as somebody does get killed, nobody really gets hurt.

It’s wacky, like Stephanie Plum, but without Morelli and Ranger, and with 2 sisters in their sixties. Try it!

Fun listen

Enjoyable southern tale of two sisters (read with a great accent), double names, bickering over silly matters but you know they love each other dearly type of story. On a whim, the single sister buys a "the Boot Scootin' Bar" where she loves to go line dancing, and that's when the trouble begins! First the former owner gets killed!! Can this story get any more complicated? Woo Hoo hold on to your hats, here we go!

Enjoyable!

Easy listening and lots of laughter! Looking forward to book 2 in this series!

My go to for a laugh and easy listen.

This is my personal favorite in the series. I so enjoyed this book. I have listened to it two or three times over the pass couple of years and laugh out loud everytime. Absolutely love the characters Mary Aluce nnd Patricia Ann.

A laugh you can relate to!

Any additional comments?

This book was thoroughly enjoyable. I haven't laughed out loud like that in a long time. It catches you off guard because you're listening intently to the plot, it gets interesting and bam you're laughing. It's very witty and I'm sure a lot of people can relate to the sisters.

The author gives enough details for you to easily imagine the scenario but doesn't overdo it so that you become bored with the details and forget what was going on.

I think the narrator is perfect for this story and has the ability to keep the suspense going and in an instant with an almost English irony bring you to laugh out loud unexpectedly.

Can't wait to get started on the second book.
