Anne George’s Southern Sisters is a mystery series that ran for ten books between 1996 and 2001. It starts with Murder on a Girls’ Night Out and Murder on a Bad Hair Day, both published in 1996, and continues through a string of “Murder” titles that carry the series all the way to Murder Boogies with Elvis in 2001.
The books follow a consistent formula where the word “Murder” appears in every title, paired with everyday situations and Southern settings. George kept a steady publishing pace, putting out at least one book per year during the series’ run. Readers looking for lighthearted mystery fiction with a Southern flavor will want to start at the beginning, since the recurring cast grows and develops as the series goes on.
