Rating:  Summary: Get These "Girls" to Take You Out! Review: You've got to love the 60 & 65 year old sisters who are polar opposites, I particular think the dialogue and writing is way above the norm. "Mary Alice giggled. She's 65 years old but she still giggles like a young girl. And men still love it." .... "`Nice,' I said, feeling a slight slip in my personal reality cog." And the audio book a PERFECT marriage of reader and material - I couldn't wait to go to my car, and then didn't want to reach my destination. From the first lines of this story, which I listened to in unabridged format, I knew I'd found something special. Anne George manages to touch on just the right formula of family dynamics and occasional insanity, with sisters Patricia Ann and Mary Alice. The rather convoluted plot takes second stage to the wonderful personalities and characters and the craziness we all have in our families. From sperm bank babies to aging hippies, mother/daughter issues, and the lovably annoying spousal unit - I'm real excited there are more Southern Sisters books!

Rating:  Summary: A great start to the series! Review: You've got to love this book! These Southern Sisters are so unique and fun that they are hard to dislike. It takes a brilliant mind to come up with complete opposite senior citizen sisters as main characters in a murder mystery. Anne George does it! And does it well!Mary Alice and Patricia Anne are great characters. They are spunky, fun, and find themselves in the midst of a murder. The reader is introduced to their families and I immediately fell in love with all of them. I have since then read the rest of the series and loved them just the same. Highly recommend!
