About this product

Product Information

Siblings couldn't be more opposite than Anne George's hilarious southern sisters. Flamboyant, much-married Mary Alice, with her empress-sized figure and matching libido, is always on the lookout for her next rich husband, while prim, proper, pint-sized former-schoolteacher Patricia Anne is perfectly happy with her one and only, good old Fred. Yet with the sisters' penchant for stumbling upon dead bodies and matching their wits against the killers, this pair has turned solving murders info an uproariously funny partnership. Murder Carries A Torch Just back from vacation -- where Patricia Ann spent quality time with her married daughter Holey and Mary Alice spent money on a pair of outrageously sexy hot purple boots -- the sisters are greeted by cousin Pukey Lukey who's in a terrible state. Pukey got his nickname from his childhood addiction to carsickness, but now poor Luke's problem is heartsickness. His wife of forty years, Virginia, has run off with a housepainter/preacher. Cousin Luke is so miserable the sisters agree to drive to the top of Chandler Mountain in search of Virginia and her newfound man of God. But no sooner do the three start snooping around the deserted grounds when Luke goes into the rundown old church and doesn't come out. Mary Alice and Patricia Anne rush in to investigate, and there's Luke -- on the floor moaning and holding his injured head. Next to him is a pretty young redhead who isn't making a sound. She's dead. Luke is taken to the hospital; Sheriff Virgil Stuckey is called to investigate; the sisters find out the faithful are into snakehandling -- and the sheriff falls instantly in love With Mary Alice and her purple boots. But all is not heavenly at the Church Of Jesus Is Our Life And Heaven Hereafter. A venomous struggle forsuccessor to the head holy man causes some to suspect the killing is the work of the legendary Chandler Mountain Booger, the region's own version of "Bigfoot." But Mary Alice and Patricia Anne suspect there's a real live murderer on the loose and they have plenty of questions to ask -- including who killed the redhead and bopped Luke, who committed murder-by-snake, how does Luke's still-missing wife fit info the picture -- and who tossed a live rattlesnake into the sisters' very own car?

Fast shipping, but unfortunately the item had some small hard-to-see defects even though it was listed as new. When I notified the seller, they were very apologetic and offered a full refund. I would definitely buy from this seller again! Recommended.

    Murder Carries Laughs HARDCOVER 2000

    Anne George created the Southern Sisters Mysteries and did such an outstanding job that her passing made us morn for one of the best writers who ever put two Southern sisters, of middle age, into stories of wit and humor and memorable character. Patricia Anne is the complete opposite of her sister Mary Alice. Where Patricia is petite and of a conservative, witty nature and still married to the same man all these years, her sister Mary Alice is full-figured, tall,and flashy and has several marriages behind her, but that does not deter her from looking for the next husband! Just back from vacation where she and Mary Alice spent time with Patricia's married daughter Haley, they are both greeted by their cousin Pukey Lukey who's in a terrible state! Pukey got his nickname from being car ...
