Summary: I LOVE ALL THESE BOOKS
Review: I have been in mourning since the loss of Anne George! I can't find another writer I love so much. I feel kind of empty knowing she's not with us. Every single book is so refreshing and the characters are people you would love to run around with. I can't say enough about any of them. For those of you who have never read one of her books, order the entire set, you will never regret it! There are no better people than Mouse and Sister! They lift your spirits and make you laugh out loud!

Summary: Mary Alice and Patricia Ann get into geneology
Review: It's always such a pleasant evening when reading an Anne George mystery. The sisters are up to their usual bickering in a way that brings a smile to the reader's lips on a regular basis (and out and out laughter on occasion).

This episode focuses on geneology after the aunt of the groom, a genologist, dies in a suspicious fall. Could she have been killed for unearthing a branch of a family tree that should have stayed buried? The whole lineage thing is all the funnier for the southern setting where what one's ancestors did in the Civil War really matters to some people.

The book loses a fifth star for a disappointing ending. Likewise, once you know the ending some of the actions of the killer don't quite make sense. Still, I certainly enjoyed the read to get there.

Summary: ALL Sothern Sisters books by Anne George
Review: My mother and I have enjoyed these books tremendously. My mother is 59 and mother of three. I am 31 and mother of 2. Mama is so like the sane sister! Her name is even Patricia! We laughed so hard tears came to our eyes. Everyone in the South knows a Mary Alice! I highly reccomend all of the Southern Sisters books. We especially laughed over the fashion no-nos. My grandmother would have said we were common as pig's tracks too if we would have worn white after Labor Day.

Summary: A typical Mouse and Sister mystery, very funny
Review: Sister's daughter gets married to her chef, Sister is very happy. She meets the octogenerian man of her dreams, who flies her off on exotic trips. Mouse gets stuck with the strange relative of the groom, left over from the wedding. She is a geneologist named Meg Bryan. The local geneologists, some of them at the wedding seem to hate her. A local judge, really hates her. She goes to visit him anyway only to take a skydive out his window. The judge and everyone else seem to want Meg's laptop. Did she commit suicide or was she murdered? Why?

This was a very entertaining mystery. I love the characters and the descriptions. The mystery is very good. I only have two very minor criticisms. If her dog Woofer is so old, why is he outside in every weather. Give him a bath and flea dip and bring him inside. There is entirely too much talk about Vulcan's behind. It might be big, but it's getting boring.

Summary: witty and enjoyable mystery
Review: These sisters are so realistic and funny, it is easy to imagine these southern ladies caught up in various mysteries and adventures. Anne George's writing style is natural and easy to relate to. A most enjoyable and "laugh aloud" book!. A. Alford

Summary: Delightful
Review: This is my first Southern Sisters novel and I thoroughly enjoyed every page. The sisters, Patricia Anne and Mary Alice are hilarious.

In this mystery, Mary Alice's daughter gets married and the wedding guests are varied and include Meg March Bryan, a very successful genealogist, and a guest from the groom's side of the family. Patricia Anne and Mary Alice become chummy with Meg and have a luncheon date with her. The luncheon goes well, until their guest hurries away without her two briefcases. Shortly after that the sisters learn that Meg has taken her life by jumping off the 9th floor of the building across the street. The sister detectives get involved with her death which they don't believe was a sucide.

What makes this book so charming are 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 almost her opposite in every way. She's big, beautiful and men seem to love all 250 pounds of her. She describes herself as being 5 foot 12 inches tall and she's looking for a fourth husband. The first three are all lying in the cemetery, side by side. Mary Alice calls Patricia Anne, Mouse and tells people that little Mouse is anorexic. I laughed out loud over the verbal exchanges between the sisters.

I read this very quickly, and I can't wait to read more books in this series.
