Murder on a Girls' Night Out - (Southern Sisters Mystery) by Anne George (Paperback)

About the Book

Country Western is hot these days, so impulsive Mary Alice thinks it makes sense to buy the Skoot 'n' Boot bar. Her sister, Patricia Anne, disagrees -- especially when they find a dead body dangling in the pub's wishing well. The sheriff questions the sisters, who were the last people, besides the murderer, to see the victim alive. Now a killer is sending them threatening messages.

Book Synopsis

A Different Kind of Sister Act

Patricia Anne -- "Mouse" -- is respectful, respectable, and demure, a perfect example of genteel Southern womanhood. Mary Alice -- "Sister" -- is big, brassy, flamboyant, and bold. Together they have a knack for finding themselves in the center of some of Birmingham's most unfortunate unpleasantness.

Country Western is red hot these days, so overimpulsive Mary Alice thinks it makes perfect sense to buy the Skoot 'n' Boot bar -- since that's where the many-times-divorced "Sister" and her boyfriend du jour like to hang out anyway. Sensible retired schoolteacher Patricia Anne is inclined to disagree -- especially when they find a strangled and stabbed dead body dangling in the pub's wishing well. The sheriff has some questions for Mouse and her sister Sister, who were the last people, besides the murderer, of course, to see the ill-fated victim alive. And they had better come up with some answers soon -- because a killer with unfinished business has begun sending them some mighty threatening messages...
