Sisters Patricia Anne and Mary Alice agree to help their cousin Luke track down his wife Virginia who ran off with their house painter. This leads them to a snake handling church and a new love interest. A fun mystery. ( ) Seventh “Southern Sisters” mystery in which Mouse and Sister get tangled up with some folks from a religious snake-handling group on Chandler Mountain when their cousin’s wife apparently runs off with a preacher from that church. Luke turns to his cousins for help a few days after she leaves, and of course they stumble upon a dead body while looking for Virginia, Luke’s wife. A couple of days later, the preacher turns up dead in Virginia’s car a few hundred miles away, the victim of massive snake bite. Honestly, how do these ladies manage to find such strange situations to get tangled in? I don’t know, but I love ‘em! Entertaining and fun as always, and Sister is back in form as she find a potential new husband in the person of Virgil Stuckey, Sheriff of the county where the snake-handlers live. I did figure out half the mystery ahead of time, and enjoyed the whole package as always. Sister and Mouse, the Southern Sisters from Birmingham, are at it again, finding dead bodies where they least expect it. This time, they are looking for their cousin, Pukey Lukey's (so named from an unfortunate case of car sickness when they were all kids) wife of forty one years, Virginia, who has apparently left him for a preacher they hired to paint their house. Their search leads them to a small mountain church where an odd group of snake-handlers meet. Of course, they find a body, this time a beautiful woman with a broken neck, laid out nicely on the front pew, but no Virginia. The mismatched sisters (Mouse -- or Patricia Anne -- is a sensible petite retired English teacher and Sister -- Mary Alice -- is the six feet tall, flamboyant and impulsive three-time widow with dyed hair) are off and running to find Virginia and get the other side of this strange story. When Virginia's car is found in Tennessee with the dead body of the itinerate preacher draped across the front seat, a victim of multiple snake bites, the plot thickens and it becomes obvious that they have to find Virginia while she's still alive. What in the world was she thinking to fall in with a bunch of kooks like these snake-handlers? These two sisters are what my mother always called "as common as cornbread" (which means home folks) and I quickly felt that I'd known these ladies for years. The book is written with humor and not a whole lot of suspense, but it makes for a nice little cozy read and I enjoyed it. I'll give it a 4, since I figured out whodunit before they did.

Appartiene alle Serie
Though unalike as snowflakes, sisters Patricia Anne and Mary Alice share a sympathetic heart for their distraught cousin Luke -- known affectionately in his boyhood as "Pukey Lukey," because of his penchant for getting sick in moving vehicles. Luke is desperate to hunt down Virginia, his wife of forty years, who has run off with a housepainter/snake-handling preacher named "Monk." And the sisters have graciously agreed to accompany their stricken kinsman on his search...in Luke's car, of course. But, while practical "Mouse" and flamboyant "Sister" are unable to find their runaway cousin-in-law among the asp-loving faithful on Chandler Mountain, they do manage to stumble upon the corpse of a pretty young redhead who was prematurely sent to her eternal reward. And before you can say "anaconda," they are hot on the serpentine trail of a killer who'd like nothing better than to sink a pair of poisonous fangs into two meddling Southern sisters!
