A Different Kind of Sister ActPatricia 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...

There was some fun 90s nostalgia. The mystery was pretty good. You knew part of it, but there was still a twist in there. The end was a bit all over the place. I really liked Mary Alice and Patricia Anne, especially when they call each other on their craziness.
I didn't like the start, but it got better with time. I enjoyed it a lot in the end. :-D
I appreciate the fact that the main character is a 60 years old, happily married woman. I loved the relationship between Pat and Fred :-)
