Southern sisters Patricia Anne and Mary Alice hightail it to Destin, Florida to have a little adventure and run into a lot of murder (with crab claws and boiled peanuts to tide their appetites between finding dead bodies). Love these sassy sixty something ladies (sixty something because Mary Alice has decided to start ageing backwards) that find love, adventure, mystery and a lot of laughs as they cruise through life Southern Style!

Murder That’s Southern Sweet Fun!

These sisters crack me up!

Loved the Birmingham location and realistic Alabama accents and Southern expressions. The narrator was great! The story was creative with enough tips and twists & turns in events to clue the reader, but evade its solving.

Southern sisters in Birmingham, AL touched by double murder.

Anne always injects humor and sisterly love in her plots. You feel like you've been to the beach with the sisters.

Love this series!

This book reminded me of my southern aunts and grandmothers. Southern manners and attitudes wrapped in a decidedly feminine look. I read this book in one day just to find out who the bad guy was. My guess, or course, was wrong. Please don't miss out on this book.

Great fun!!!

Such an enjoyable book. The banter between the sisters sounds like real sisters with all the sass and attitude.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I love these books. I own (still own), have read & enjoyed the entire series of paperbacks several years ago. Hadn't read them in a long time so I purchased all the audio editions that were available (there are one or two missing).

I found I loved the audio editions even more because Ruth Ann Phimister brings life to these southern ladies in a way that makes me want to listen to her over and over again. I don't know how she does all those voices but she does a wonderful job at it. They are entertainment not documentaries so yes, they are light but so what! I still love them. Almost makes me want to move to Alabama even though I love my Pacific Northwest so very much.

When I listen to these books I feel like I'm there, miles away from my physical body.
I highly recommend them if you want to sink into a book and feel like you're there in a nice cozy place with great people. I couldn't possibly say enough great things about the books and the narrator. I was very please.

What did you like best about this story?

I liked all the great things in between the action i.e. murder(s). The home life, family interactions (the sometimes impossible sister relationship) and even the pets provide humor, realism and believability to the characters. This goes for all the books in the series. I do like some better than others but there isn't one that I don't like.

What does Ruth Ann Phimister bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Having read the books and now years later listening to Ruth Ann Phimister I'd have to say she brought the characters more to life for me. I especially love her voice for Patricia Anne, soft, gentle, very southern but also formidable when she needs to be. I'd be curious to know if she's really southern because of her great accents in these books or if she just does a great southern accent.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

A 'feel good' murder mystery.

Any additional comments?

I read some very bad reviews about these books and I don't know what the people were expecting. Maybe because I read them before listening to them (albeit years apart) I already knew what I was getting into. I think the books are exactly what they are billed as and if it's not someone's particular 'cup of tea' I don't think that's a reflection on the book but on the taste of the person writing the review.

I enjoyed every minute of listening to these books.

Love the entire series!! Paperback & Audio!!!!

I listen to these books and read these books over and over. The person doing the reading is superb. The books are without a doubt the most fun and I cherish each one of them. There will be no more since Anne George died in 2001 I believe. What a loss. You can't go wrong with any of her books.

one of the best authors there ever was
