Loading... Murder Shoots the Bullby Anne George
None. Sixth “Southern Sisters” cozy mystery set in Birmingham, Alabama and featuring two sixty-something sisters, Patricia Anne (Mouse) and Mary Alice (Sister.) This book sees Patricia Anne’s neighbor and good friend Mitzi pulled into a murder investigation when her husband Arthur is accused of killing his first wife, Sophie. Sophie had recently returned to town and had some chronic medical problems. She had changed her will to name Arthur executor just two days before she was poisoned—while eating lunch with him. Sister and Mouse just happened to be in the Hunan Hut at the same time and are drawn into the whole mystery as usual. Enjoyable visit to Birmingham as usual, and it saddens me to know the series only has two more books to go. ( )Another in the Southern Sisters series. In this episode, Patricia Anne's next door neighbor, Mitzi Phizer, invites the sisters to join a ladies' investment club that's just now forming, patterned after the Beardstown Ladies. But just before the first meeting, the girls spot Mitzi's husband of 40 years, Arthur, in a corner booth at the Hunan Hut restaurant, holding hands with a pretty blonde woman. Before the girls can finish their own lunch, the mystery blonde has collapsed, gone into convulsions and died. Days later, after Mitzi has wept and shared secrets at Patricia Anne's kitchen table, Arthur is arrested for murder. But when the Phizer's house catches fire in the middle of the night, and poor Arthur gets shot in a place no one wants to be shot in, the sisters know they have to do something to help. Everybody involved seems to have a secret and there's a lot of digging to be done to get to the bottom of this one. Again, this was a good little read and I enjoyed it. Sister and Mouse are joining a women's investment club and settling down after their last adventure, when Mouse's neighbor is arrested for murdering his first wife. Mouse knows that mild mannered Arthur Phizer could not possibly have done it. When it becomes obvious that someone is trying to kill Arthur, the sisters can't help but get involved. We meet some new characters and learn a bit more about the sisters. I just love them. I will hate to get to the last book. They are just so funny. no reviews | add a review
