The South is on the rise, and the North is on the march in this humorous mystery where Alabama proud Emme Dickson meets Boston born Jackie Mayson. Two women, complete strangers, each summoned by a cryptic letter to Washington, D.C. In the capital they will discover family secrets, big, weird, bat-crap crazy secrets, tick off numerous government agencies, just miss an assassins bullet and be given new lives sharing the same house, where the only thing preventing another war between the states is the mystery that has become their lives. On the trail of secrets they discover that together they have a knack for solving murders. Mayson and Dickson Investigations is born over a pitcher of margaritas, one disgusting dead body on the beach, and along a line of division that gets a little twisted. Investigating family secrets under the guise of being private investigators seems like a good idea until real dead bodies keep dropping on them. Northern Logic, Southern Charm and Murder!

Summary
Jocie McKade author of Mayson Dickson: The Line is Drawn. I am new to Jocie’s books and I am thrilled to have found them. Mayson Dickson was a mesmerizing escape for me this weekend.
Emme Mayson was raised in the south by her dad who she thought was totally predictable and boring.
Jackie Dickson was raised by her mother in Boston. They are shocked and in disbelieve when they find out that their parents died on the same day and they are twin sisters.
The sisters are summoned to Washington DC after their parents die. As they are learning about their parents they witness a murder and are on the run. They are told they cannot trust anyone. I am not sure I could pick a favorite sister since each of them have their own charm. Emma is driving FBI Special agent Chris Meechum crazy with her antics and she seems to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Their caretaker Sam Fender seems to be very handy and s smitten with Jackie. There might be more to him that meets the eye.
The north and south banter between the sisters is hilarious. The secondary characters that they meet are humorous. Mayson Dickson is a delightful start to a new series. I just have to know what they will get themselves into next.
I recommend this book and I am excited to catch up on the series.
