MURDER ON A BAD HAIR DAY

"Sixtyish" twin sisters Patricia Anne and Mary Alice let few events in Birmingham, Alabama, escape their notice. When the director of an art gallery (one they visited just the night before) is murdered, the ladies naturally spring into action. Narrator Ruth Ann Phimister enriches George's charming, humorous, and very Southern text. Since verbal barbs and sparring make up much of the sisters' repartee, the audio edition is even better than the book. The cozy feel, witty asides, and vocal emotions all combine to enliven a delightful story. S.G.B. © AudioFile 2001, Portland, Maine [Published: JUN/JUL 01]
