reviewed on + 20 more book reviews


In this mystery, Mary Alice's daughter gets married. One of the wedding guests is Meg March Bryan, a genealogist, and a guest from the groom's side of the family. Patricia Anne and Mary Alice become friends with Meg and go to lunch with her. The lunch goes well, until their guest hurries away without her two briefcases. Soon after that the sisters learn that Meg killed herself by jumping off the building across the street. The sister detectives get involved with her death which they don't believe was a suicide.

What I love about this book is the sisters. Patricia Anne, a former English teacher and married to Fred for over forty years, is a tiny and proper lady. Her sister,Mary Alice is her opposite in every way. She's a big, beautiful women at 250 lbs. She describes herself as being 5 foot 12 inches tall and she's looking for a fourth husband. Rich men just lover her. The characters are loveable. The stories are hilarious.

I have found each of Ms. George's books laugh out loud funny.
