- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Second book and I loved it even more than the first.
Funny, entertaining, and a warm sense of family love.
Going on to next in series. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Mary Ann and Patricia Alice can't even get away from murder while on vacation. Even a southern beach becomes the setting for their sleuthing skills.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I listened to the audiobook version, and the total package was a good listen! The narrator did a good job handling various character voices, both male and female. Since it's nearly summer, the vacation theme was appropriate too. I also liked how the Sister, Patricia Ann, Haley, and Frances figured out the clues without pestering the local law enforcement, which often happens in these cozy mysteries.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Mary Alice and Patricia Ann are sisters living in the Birmingham, Alabama area. They need a break and head with Patricia Ann's daughter Haley and friend Frances to Mary Alice's condo in Destin, Florida. Mary Alice is actually attending a writer's conference. It isn't long until they stumble across the body of a friend on the beach. The discover a second body a bit later. This is a thoroughly Southern mystery. It's as much about the Southern friendships and conversation as it is about the mystery. They don't really put themselves in a lot of dangerous situations and leave most of the investigation to the proper authorities. What nosing about they do is just natural Southern gossip that turns up clues. It was a fun mystery for a change of pace and perfect for a beach read.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Cute. Really quick read. Good travel book (I would assume others in the series are of the same vein). Not my normal type of book... but a fun little break.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Patricia Anne and Mary Alice, two very mis-matched sisters in their 60s, head for the beach with Patricia's daughter, Haley, and Frances, and old friend, got a "girl's vacation" filled with sunbathing, chick movies, and shopping trips. They stay in Mary Alice's condo on the beach in the Florida panhandle town of Destin, and are hoping for a break from hectic routine, but they should know better than that, right? Sure enough, when the resident manager of the building is found murdered and washed up on the beach nearby, the ladies begin their amateur sleuthing to track down a murderer, all while enjoying sun, fun, a writing convention, and a rather traumatic hair-coloring session for Patricia Anne.These books are such fun, and the characters so three dimensional that I feel like I've sat across the table from these gals at bingo over the years. Great stuff, and I'll be sorry to see this series end, but these ladies will live on in my imagination, I expect.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Sister is on her way to a writing conference and Mouse needs an adventure so they set off for Sister's condo on the beach in Florida. No sooner had they arrived than the resident manager, and partner in a new housing development turns up on the beach, need I say it, dead.I just love these two ladies, their family and friends. I find that the mystery is often lacking in these stories but I enjoy the ride so much I really don't care.
