    About this audiobook

    Novelist Anne George injects murder, mayhem, and laughs into her popular mysteries. Nominated for an Agatha Award, this hilarious tale of two "60 something" sisters reveals the deadly consequences of a hasty real estate purchase. Retired Alabama school teacher Patricia Anne thinks her older sister, flamboyant Mary Alice, has lost her cotton-pickin' mind. On a whim, Mary Alice bought the Skoot 'n' Boot, the local country western night spot where she and her boyfriend hang out. Mary Alice insists it will be easy to run the club-until the previous owner is found executed, gangland style, in the club's wishing well. Suddenly the sheriff is demanding answers, and a killer with unfinished business is sending messages even optimistic Mary Alice can't ignore. With her dramatic sense of timing, narrator Ruth Ann Phimister brings out both the wise-cracking fun and the nailbiting suspense.

      Book Description:
      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 over-impulsive 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...

      This was an interesting and fun cozy! Enjoyed it very much and look forward to reading the next in the series!
    • 4/5

      Good and soooo funny.

    • 5/5
      loved the humour and the witty commentary on family relationships
    • 5/5
      Murder on a Girl's Night Out by Anne George is a multi-layered mystery with a very strange cast of characters! This is more than a mystery, it's a study of characters! Each character is so well defined! One of the main characters, the sister to the main character, is so annoying that I am so thankful she is not my sister!Great plot, dialogue, and world building! Great job!
    • 2/5
      Fun fluff book about two sisters, in vastly different social and economic situations, solving a murder. The ditzy sister, decides to purchase a local bar/ nightclub, only to find the manager murdered. With help from the more predictable sister, they go through various escapades to solve the crime. The kind of book to read when you can be easily interrupted.
    • 4/5
      The narrator did a great job of reading this book, and I enjoyed getting some background by listening the first of this series. The humor within the mystery is well-timed, and I was suprised by whodunnit.

    • 4/5
      The main characters in this book are Mary Alice (aka Sister) andPatricia Anne, a pair of 60+ year old southern sisters who are about asdifferent as daylight and dark. Mary Alice is large, flamboyant, andfull of fun; she's buried three husbands and isn't ready to quit anytime soon. Patricia Anne is a retired high school English teacher whojust wants to lead a quiet life in her golden years with her husband.When Mary Alice decides on the spur of the moment to buy a country danceclub called the Skoot N Boot, she insists that Patricia Anne ride alongto go see it. It's daytime and the place is pretty quiet when PatriciaAnne gets the grand tour and meets the former owner.But the world turns upside down the next morning when the former owneris found murdered inside the club and both sisters get grilled by thelocal sheriff for any information they can provide. Things go from badto worse when the murder scene is ransacked and drugs are found. Allfingers seem to point to the club cook, who is a favorite former studentof Patricia's.This book was a pleasant little read, but nothing special. I ratherlike the characters, so I'll be looking for other books in the series,but it's not something I'll be beating the bushes to locate. I'll giveit a 4 because it WAS a nice little read and I didn't suspect the rightculprit, though I must say it seemed a bit contrived to me the way theauthor pulled it all together at the end. She's got writing talent andcan certainly write good dialog, but it's not so strong on plot.
    • 3/5
      This is just one installment of the antics of the "Southern Sisters" who always just happen to be in the vacinity of a murder. They are quite the characters!!! It's a book that will keep you grinning.
    • 4/5
      The first of the Southern Sisters Mystery series introduces sisters Mouse and Sister, 60 something Alabama ladies who could not be more different. Tiny, ladylike Mouse is dominated by her older, larger than life sibling, Sister. That is how she ends up in the middle of a murder investigation and the Skoot and Boot, a club Sister has recently bought from the now deceased Ed. The murder is the first disaster to befall the "Skoot" as the sisters fall upon one clue after another. As with many cozy mysteries it is the cast of quirky characters who keep this story so engaging. Mouse, who deals with distress with humor, is hysterical.
