Summary: Murder By Mousse...
Review: "Murder on a Bad Hair Day" continues the adventures of siblings Patricia Anne (petite, practical, retired schoolteacher, married for 40 yrs.) and Mary Alice (250+, loud, brassy, has buried 3 husbands and always on the lookout for the 4th).This series is one of the funniest to come along in years! It is especially great for older individuals who have children and grandchildren (although I have none). A beautiful former student of Patricia Anne's shows up on her doorstep following the "murder by mousse" of an ill-liked gallery owner. More murders follow and Patricia Anne and Mary Alice along with Detective Bo Peep work to solve the crimes. The plot is great, but buy this book (buy the whole series!) for the dialogue alone. The sibling bantering is hilarious!

Summary: Hairdo's by Delta Hairlines.
Review: An odd and unlikely set of twins Mary Alice is over 200 pounds and 6 feet tall, while her sister Patricia Anne is all of 5 foot 1 inch and 105 pounds on her heaviest day. In their sixties and vibrant as the day is long these southern ladies solve mysteries and this particular mystery is tied into some of the folk art of their Alabama town. The story is interesting and well written; the conversations between these two sisters are nothing short of superlative. The banter between our ladies is sharp, witty and will leave you amused and laughing. Mary Alice has taken on a job at the mall as Mrs. Claus for the Christmas season and she arrives at Patricia Anne's house only to claim that she is a sex slave to her man who has been hired to be Santa at the mall. It is at this opportune moment that she opens her coat up to dazzle all within blinking distance. Upon her shirt and decorated with blinking lights is her name and career move as Santa's sidekick. She has decided to stand by her man even if she has to where a wig that looks like a mangy white poodle. It is not so much the situations that these ladies get into but the repartee between them that keeps you laughing. This was a fun mystery I would give 3.5 stars. I am anxiously looking forward to another of their mysteries. Kelsana 7/26/01

Summary: Thought it would be funnier
Review: I am looking for a new author to enjoy (I like Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series a lot). So, when I saw this book, I thought it would be really good - it was only okay. Yes, it has some entertaining areas - but I thought it took a little bit long to get to the fact that someone had been murdered...maybe I need to practice a little more patience, but I wanted to know what they were looking for sooner! I did finish the book, so that bodes well - I am wondering if it I would have enjoyed it more if I started with the first in the series.

Summary: Great light reading with lots of humor
Review: I got Ann George's name off of the internet. Glad I did! This book had me laughing out loud! This is a great summer read and a good whodunit. If you like humor and mystery you'll like this.

Summary: I'm Hooked!
Review: I have always been a big fan of Southern writers; Conroy, Samms, Edgarton, Burns, and of course Mitchell to name a few. And now I have a new name to add to the list: Anne George. Her books are just precious and her characters are lovable! As I have previously stated, since I live in Alabama, I especially enjoy all the references to the Birmingham landmarks. When I read about highway 280, the Vulcan and the Galleria I feel that I am part of the story. Speaking of the story, I loved it. The writing is crisp, the dialogue forceful, and the plot is scrumptious! If you want a great book that will grasp you on the first page and is effortless to follow, get a copy of Murder on a Bad Hair Day: A Southern Sisters Mystery--you won't regret it!

Summary: Totally readable - great summer reading.
Review: I have just discovered Anne George - and am completely caught up with Patricia Anne, Mary Alice, Woofer and the gang. I've been through the entire series this summer and hope the writing continues. My husband commented on our dinner the other night and I told him it was something Patricia Ann would have put together for Fred and herself after a day of sleuthing.
