Someone has cut the phone lines. They revolve around two sisters, Patricia Anne and Mary Alice, who live in Birmingham, Alabama. The sisters don't look anything alike, and they are always quick to point out that they were both born at home. One is short and slight, the other is tall and ample. Together they are a force to be reckoned with.
Murder comes along, too.
While walking on the beach, they discover the body of a woman who lives in the same condominium. From there the sisters and assorted friends try to figure out who the murderer is before the body count gets any higher. The young lady's family are not exactly what Mary Alice had in mind when she envisioned her dear son married. This series is cozy and full of Southern humor. A winning combination.
