The Southern sisters have just returned from a trip to Europe, but they barely have time to get over jet lag before they are involved in another mystery. An anguished cousin has lost his wife to a snake-handling preacher, and when the sisters travel to a remote mountain settlement to find her, they discover a corpse instead.

An award-winning novelist and poet, Anne George has entertained millions of fans with her Agatha Award-winning mysteries.

Sister Crime Solvers

Who was your favorite character and why?

We loved the characters and enjoyed the banter between the two sisters. Having two of my own, I could definitely relate.

What about Ruth Ann Phimister’s performance did you like?

I loved the relaxed easy voice to Ruth Ann Phimister. She added to the tone of the piece.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

My husband and I like to listen to books when we drive but it is hard to find books we both enjoy. This was easy and funny with a bit of intrigue. Light relaxing listening for those long road trips.

I love these gals

I love spending time with Mouse and Mary Alice, no matter what they're doing!

I sure wish someone would pick up where Anne George left off and give us some more adventures with these delightful Southern Sisters.

I'm almost finished listening to the series, I may have to listen to them over again when I need a little pick-me-up.

Ruth Ann Phimister is absolutely a delight, thank you SO much!
