Murder on a Girls' Night Out: A Southern Sisters Mystery Overviews
A Different Kind of Sister Act
Patricia Anne -- "Mouse" -- is respectful, respectable, and demure, a perfect example of genteel Southern womanhood. Mary Alice -- "Sister" -- is big, brassy, flamboyant, and bold. Together they have a knack for finding themselves in the center of some of Birmingham's most unfortunate unpleasantness.
Country Western is red hot these days, so overimpulsive Mary Alice thinks it makes perfect sense to buy the Skoot 'n' Boot bar -- since that's where the many-times-divorced "Sister" and her boyfriend du jour like to hang out anyway. Sensible retired schoolteacher Patricia Anne is inclined to disagree -- especially when they find a strangled and stabbed dead body dangling in the pub's wishing well. The sheriff has some questions for Mouse and her sister Sister, who were the last people, besides the murderer, of course, to see the ill-fated victim alive. And they had better come up with some answers soon -- because a killer with unfinished business has begun sending them some mighty threatening messages...

Murder on a Girls' Night Out: A Southern Sisters Mystery CustomerReview
If you've always thought that well-bred Southern women "of a certain age" spent their retirements wearing straw hats, gardening and drinking sweet tea then let Patricia Anne Hollowell set you straight.
Patricia Anne ("Mouse") and her older sister Mary Alice ("Sister") are polar opposites - both in appearance and temperament. When the impulsive and flamboyant Sister buys a country-western bar, sensible Mouse is only slightly surprised. But even the unflappable Mouse gets more than she bargained for when the owner of the Scoot 'n' Boot is murdered and one of her former students is looking a lot like a suspect. Can the two Steel Magnolias get to the bottom of things without indulging in some murderous thoughts of their own?
This was a thoroughly enjoyable "cozy". I liked Patricia Anne's narrative which was liberally dotted with her wry (and very funny) observations on marriage, children and (of course) the unique bond of sisterhood. The southern atmosphere and domestic details more than make up for the less than scintillating mystery. And let's be honest - that's what you read a "cozy" for anyway, isn't it?
No swearing or sexual content - nothing that I wouldn't be comfortable having my teenager (or my 82 year old Mother) read.
