Review
by Anne George
and I would highly recommend reading
Murder on a Girl's Night Out
and Murder on a Bad Hair Day first!
First
sentences:
“Pukey
Lukey is here,” my sister Mary Alice murmured as she was ushered into the front
pew beside me.
Summary:
Mary Alice has spared nothing for her only
daughter's wedding - from seventy-five yards of bridal train to gourmet food
for over three hundred guests and enough glittering elegance to make Mary Alice
think about finding herself a fourth rich husband to pay for it all. Practical
Patricia Anne has put away her aunt-of-the-bride blue chiffon and settled back
into domesticity when fun-loving Mary Alice calls to say they have a
post-wedding date with a genealogist from the groom's side of the family. Lunch
is a fascinating lesson on the hazards of finding dirty linens in ancestral
boudoirs that ends abruptly when their guest scurries off with the local judge,
leaving the sisters with their mouths open - and finishing their luncheon
companion's cheesecake - when the police arrive.
Their mysterious guest has taken a plunge from the ninth floor of the courthouse building - an apparent suicide. But given the scandals a nosy genealogist might have uncovered, the sisters are betting that some proud Southern family is making sure their shameful secrets stay buried. . .along with anyone who tries to dig them up.

My
opinion:
Patricia
Anne and Mary Alice are back!
This time
Mary Alice’s daughter Debby is getting married but soon after the wedding the
groom’s closest living relative is not alive anymore. According to the police she
took a plunge from the ninth floor of the courthouse and now it is once again
up to the two sisters to solve the mystery even though Patricia Anne’s husband
Fred tries to convince his wife that this investigation is none of her
business.
With Debby
and her new husband away in honeymoon Mary Alice and Patricia Anne try their
best to solve the murder and not get harmed while doing so. Easier said than
done!
Once again,
Anne George wrote a funny and witty novel filled with lovely characters and a
gripping mystery. I adored this one as much as the first two and cannot wait to
read the rest of the series.
