Murder on a Bad Hair Day

It's hard to believe practical, petite ex-schoolteacher Patricia Anne and amiable, ample-bodied, and outrageous Mary Alice are sisters, yet sibling rivalry has survived decades of good-natured disagreement about everything from husbands to hair color. No sooner do the Southern sisters discover a common interest in some local art, when they're arguing the artistic merits of some well-coiffured heads at a gallery opening. A few hours later, one of those pretty ladies ends up dead -- with not a hair out of place. The other shows up on Patricia Anne's doorstep dazed, disheveled, and telling a wild tale of a narrow escape from some deadly cuts. Now the sisters are once again combing for clues to catch a killer with a bizarre style in art -- and murder.

Anne George (c.____ - 2001) was the Agatha Award-winning author of the Southern Sisters mystery series, which culminated in the August 2001 release of Murder Boogies with Elvis. She was a happily married former school teacher living in Birmingham, Alabama, just like Patricia Anne. George was also a former State Poet of Alabama and a frequent writer to literary journals. She was nominated for various accolades during her career, including the Pulitzer Prize. Her date of birth will remain a secret because she is a true lady of the Old South.
