    About this audiobook

    Anne George's best-selling Southern Sisters mysteries offer delightful mixtures of offbeat characters, charming humor, and intriguing crimes. In Murder Gets a Life, middle-aged sisters Mary Alice and Patricia Ann are sleuthing their way through a mystery that is hotter than Alabama in August. Mary Alice's son has married Sunshine, a petite blond who is cute as a button. Her family, however, lives in a junk-filled trailer compound dotted with rusty engines and pit bulls. When Mary Alice and Patricia Ann pay a call on the family, the sisters hardly have time to meet Sunshine's spirit-channeling grandmother before they stumble over a large corpse on her floor. The local sheriff just can't seem to get moving in the summer heat. So it's up to the Southern Sisters to discover who the dead man is, and why Sunshine has suddenly disappeared. So grab a glass of sweet tea and get ready to spend a few hours with two of the most resourceful sleuths south of the Mason-Dixon line.

      I just looove these two sisters. They tickle me especially Pat. Anne George is definitely one of my most favourite writers and this is actually the second time I'm listening to this series.

      The Southern Sisters are at it again. Mary Alice istaken by surprise by the sudden appearance of SunshineDabbs, who has just married her youngest son, Ray, inBora Bora. Wanting to do the right thing, she decidesto get to know Sunshine's family and drags PatriciaAnne along on a little visit. They are shocked anddismayed to find themselves at the end of a pig trailof a muddy dirt road in a compound of ratty oldtrailers surrounded by junk, washing machines and pitbulls. Thinking that their worst nightmares have cometrue and that Sister's baby boy is about to be takento the cleaners by a gold-digger, the sisters followSunshine's grandmother, known to one and all as"Meemaw", into her tiny trailer where they literallyfall over a dead body on the floor just inside thedoor. Things get more complicated when they discoverthat Sunshine is missing, and they have their handsjust about full.It's another romp with the sisters, and as much atreat as eating Ben and Jerry's in your favoritejammies.

      Mouse and Sister just can't stay out of trouble. This time Sister gets a surprise daughter-in-law. Their worst fear is that the new in-laws are "common as turkey tracks" but things get worse when a body shows up impaled on the floor of one of the in-law's trailers.These books just get funnier and funnier. Even if you aren't a southerner, you can't help but laugh.
