Murder Carries a Torch

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 &quote;Pukey Lukey,&quote; 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 &quote;Monk.&quote; And the sisters have graciously agreed to accompany their stricken kinsman on his search...in Luke's car, of course.But, while practical &quote;Mouse&quote; and flamboyant &quote;Sister&quote; 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 &quote;anaconda,&quote; 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!
