AskTheArmadillo

When Rosie’s father passes away, he leaves behind an inheritance of $1.5 million in WalMart stock. Despite being 82-years old and, in the judgement of the church ladies of Babbitt, Arkansas, the “meanest person who ever breathed God’s sweet air,” Rosie’s mother immediately takes up with Clyde, her secret boyfriend and a man of great energy and ambition when it comes to spending other people’s money. Rosie and her brother, Brother, need to get their mother away from Clyde before the entire inheritance disappears. But when Rosie herself turns up dead, the race is on to find the culprit before there are more victims. Narrated by Rosie from the afterlife, Armadillo Massacre Number Three is not just a laugh-out-loud comedy about money, greed, and life in a small southern town, but also a moving meditation about what really makes a family and how love can last for eternity.
