The new series from the author of The Silence of the Library and Murder Past Due... New York Times bestselling author Miranda James returns to Athena, Mississippi, with an all-new mystery featuring Miss An’gel and Miss Dickce Ducote, two snoopy sisters who are always ready to lend a helping hand. But when a stressed socialite brings murder right to their doorstep, even they have trouble maintaining their Southern hospitality? With the Mississippi sun beating down, An’gel and Dickce are taking a break to cool off and pet sit their friend Charlie Harris’s cat, Diesel, when their former sorority sister, Rosabelle Sultan, shows up at their door unexpectedly, with her ne’er-do-well adult children not far behind. Rosabelle’s selfish offspring are desperate to discover what’s in her will, and it soon becomes clear that one of them would kill to get their hands on the inheritance. Suddenly caught up in a deadly tangle of duplicitous suspects and deep-fried motives, it will take all of the sisters’ Southern charm to catch a decidedly ill-mannered killer
My Review:
This was a good book because as the bodies started to pile up, more questions arose. It was interesting that someone would want to kill their own family member, especially immediate family. That is the what the author is trying to get across, What would people do for money? They would obviously lie, cheat and kill anyone that is in their way. As family members started to show up the list of suspects got bigger, however Dickce and An'gel do not mind the company. Their house is full of southern hospitality, and even their housekeeper is okay with the company. I liked that the murders were not the usual murder weapons. Spiders and wet floors made the lists of suspects even longer for me. Anyone can spill water. I was guessing until the end. This is only the first book in the series, however I have a feeling that these sisters have a lot more mysteries to solve. I am giving this book a 5/5. I was given a copy to review from Night Owl Reviews, and this review is their property. However all opinions are my own.
