Anne George is best known for the Southern Sisters mystery series, which ran for nine books from 1996 to 2001. The series titles all follow the “Murder…” naming pattern, from Murder on a Girls’ Night Out to Murder Boogies with Elvis, and the playful names are a good match for the cozy mystery genre. The Southern setting is central to the series, and readers who enjoy lighthearted whodunits with strong regional flavor tend to gravitate toward these books.
Beyond the mysteries, George had a long career in shorter fiction and poetry. Her earliest publications are the short story collection Spraying Under the Bed for Wolves and the standalone novel Wild Goose Chase, both from 1985. She also published the anthology A Baker’s Dozen (1988), the collection Some of It is True (1993), and The Map That Lies Between Us (2000). Her standalone novel This One and Magic Life (1999) appeared during her most productive period. Across seventeen books and a career spanning from 1985 to 2019, George’s work covers both the cozy mystery and literary short fiction sides of the spectrum.
