Murder Makes Waves

Murder Makes Waves
Anne George
Avon, 1997, 285 pgs. mystery

Patricia Anne and Mary Alice (two senior sleuthing southern sisters) are vacationing in wealthy Mary Alice's Florida condo, just the ticket to offer a little adventure to practical Patricia's "living in a rut feeling". But a simple walk on the beach brings an awful discovery. A body has washed up and it turns out to be Mary Alice's real estate investing neighbor whom they had talked to earlier in the day. Disregarding any advice about "not getting involved", the sisters are compelled to solve the whodunit and there is no shortage of suspects. I love all the Southern Sisters books by Anne George. These cozy mysteries offer a delightful, humorous, extremely easy read. There is a small amount of very mild language.

For a real treat listen to the unabridged Recorded books audio version (8 cds) read by Ruth Ann Phimister. She gives the characters character. Her whimsical rendition kept me awake while driving across the Nevada desert. I highly recommend it to the cozy mystery crowd.
