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.… (altro)

My two favorite sisters are in their element as they attend the wedding of Sister's daughter. One of the guests, a relative of the bridegroom, is a well known geneologist and they meet for lunch the day after the wedding. It seems a little strange when the woman jumps from the window of the courthouse right after lunch. I love these books and read them over and over. ( )

Mary Alice knows how to throw a wedding, that's for
sure, and she throws a doozy for her only daughter's
special day. She and Patricia Ann decide to meet the
groom's aunt, a genealogist, for lunch the next day,
to try to get to know his family a little better. But
their lunch is cut short when she interrupts a
discussion of the hazards of rattling skeletons in
closets to go scurrying off after a local judge. The
sisters are just finishing up her abandoned cheesecake
when the police and an ambulance pull up outside the
cafe. Their elderly guest has just taken a dive from
the 10th floor of the courthouse across the street, an
apparent suicide. But given the scandals the nosy
geneologist was capable of uncovering, Mouse and
Sister are betting that some proud Southern family is
making sure their shameful secrets stay
buried....along with anyone who tries to dig them up.

These gals are a real pair. I swear I know these
ladies and I really love these stories. ( )

Mary Alice entdeckt ein neues Hobby: die Genealogie. Sie greift sich ihre widerstrebende Schwester Patricia Anne und arrangiert ein Treffen mit Meg Bryan, ihres Zeichens Ahnenforscherin. Leider wird das gemeinsame Mittagessen drastisch abgekürzt, als Meg abrupt und ohne weitere Erklärung hinausläuft und sich kurz darauf aus dem neunten Stock stürzt. Oder gestoßen wird?

Patricia Ann (Mouse) and Mary Alice (Sister) meet Meg, a geneologist, at the wedding of Mary Alice's daughter. Later they meet her for lunch which is interupted by another friend of Meg's. Meg steps away to investigate some geneological mystery and ends up taking a nose dive from the 10th floor of the Birmingham courthouse. Was is suicide or did Meg have a little help?

These Southern Sisters Mysteries are so much fun. The characters are really taking shape by this installment. The mystery is almost beside the point. Just sit back and enjoy. ( )
