Beschreibung

Just back from vacation, the sisters are greeted by cousin Pukey Lukey who's in a terrible state. His wife of forty years, Virginia has run off with a housepainter / preacher. Cousin Luke is so miserable the sisters agree to drive to the top of Chandler Mountain in search of Virginia and her new-found man of God. But no sooner do the three start snooping around the deserted grounds when Luke goes into the rundown old church and doesn't come out. Mary Alice and Patricia Anne rush in to investigate and there's Luke---on the floor moaning and holding his injured head. Next to him is a pretty young redhead who isn't making a sound. She's dead.
Mary Alice and Patricia Anne suspect there's a real live murdere in the loose and they have plenty of questions to ask---including who killed the redhead and bopped Luke and how does Luke still-missing wife fit inot the picture?

Klappentext

Though unalike as snowflakes, sisters Patricia Anne and Mary Alice share a sympathetic heart for their distraught cousin Luke -- known affectionately in his boyhood as "Pukey Lukey," because of his penchant for getting sick in moving vehicles. Luke is desperate to hunt down Virginia, his wife of forty years, who has run off with a housepainter / snake-handling preacher named "Monk." And the sisters have graciously agreed to accompany their stricken kinsman on his search...in Luke's car, of course.

But, while practical "Mouse" and flamboyant "Sister" are unable to find their runaway cousin-in-law among the asp-loving faithful on Chandler Mountain, they do manage to stumble upon the corpse of a pretty young redhead who was prematurely sent to her eternal reward. And before you can say "anaconda," they are hot on the serpentine trail of a killer who'd like nothing better than to sink a pair of poisonous fangs into two meddling Southern sisters!
