The Southern Girls

I love,love,love these books. I am on the last of the series and so sad. I read at night when I go to bed and lay there and laugh at those girls. I'm a Southern girl and I can just hear my family saying some things just like what the girls say

Love these sisters!

I usually have 2 books going...a more serious read and a light one. Just discovered Anne George this week-end. What a hoot! Two sisters in their sixties who are total opposites (one petite and more mild-mannered and one large and out-spoken). Just imagine the large one playing Mrs. Claus at the local mall (Birmingham, Alabama) with a funky wig and a top with blinking lights. An opening at the local art gallery ends in death. Now the sisters are on a quest to find the murderer. Thedialogue is clever, the situations are rather unique, and the gallery owner has been deemosoed. Read it to find out. I LOVE Joan Hess. Her tales of Maggody have often made me laugh out loud. Now, after reading all of Hess's, I have a new Southern author to seek out. Patricia Anne and Mary Alice (the sisters) are my new "light read." Funny, I finished this one in 2 days while my "serious" book kept calling to me. I'm off to Border's to find more of Anne George.

Too funny

The Southern Sisters appeal to all. This book had me rolling in the aisles and on the edge of my seat page by page. The dialogue between Patricia nd Mary Alice is hysterical- you can just picture them in action. Ann George can't write fast enough; it is as simple as that.

Great light reading with lots of humor

I got Ann George's name off of the internet. Glad I did! This book had me laughing out loud! This is a great summer read and a good whodunit. If you like humor and mystery you'll like this.

Entertaining and funny; I couldn't put it down.

I love these sisters. It makes me wish they were "real" and I could hang-out with them. Mary Alice has to be one of the funniest characters I've had the pleasure getting to know through my reading in a long time. Living in Anniston and shopping frequently in B'ham, I enjoy recognizing the locations where the sisters' mishaps take place. Being a teacher myself, thank you, Mrs. George, for the hours of entertainment and relaxation your books have allowed me.

Get in Line to laugh, Then tell your friends

When my online book pals told me I HAD to read this, I thought--oh no--another book to add to MT. TBR (To Be Read). BUT...word of mouth is RIGHT. If you like FUN, snappy humor, and characters you wish you could hang out with, come meet MaryAlice and Patricia Anne. (MA and PA) This is a sister act you won't want to miss. Oh, and yes Virginia, there is a mystery too. And unlike some other writers (who cheat), Anne George gives you a good logical ending that WON"T make you throw the book across the room at the end. Enjoy, and then come back and tell someone else!
