Hello All,

I am glad to see that others get as much pleasure reading about Anne George's Southern Sisters as I do. I am so sad to be half-way through her last book, and have already started looking for a replacement. Though I haven't read them, I was doing some research for a similar series, and came across Livia J. Washburn's "Fresh Baked". It is a culinary mystery series, but has the same southern feel as Southern Sisters and even features retired teachers too! I am looking forward to reading these! Thought I'd share…

I just read the first in the Anne George series–what an absolute DELIGHT!!!! I completely loved it. I have the next one sitting here. Such great characters. I enjoyed it thoroughly and I agree–it would be a great intro to "cozy."

If I could learn to write half as well as she did…

My little sister (we'll call her Mouse) had me read this book "Murder on a Girl's Night out". It was wonderful , it kept me on the edge of my seat, I could hardly put it down. We'd love to find more of Anne's novels.

Hi Deborah,

Thank you so much for posting in this entry's comments area. As you can see, there are a lot of Anne George fans who are saddened that she passed away.

I can imagine how thrilling it must be to see that your Mace Bauer Mystery Series has been compared to Anne George's Southern Sisters Mystery Series. That is a wonderful honor, indeed! I am going to have to move your new series up on my "To Be Read" list.

Thanks, again!

I am a huge fan of the late Anne George. Her death was a great loss to the mystery world.

She's one of the reasons I became a mystery writer after many years as a journalist. I wanted to write funny mysteries, and Anne's success (and her wonderfully humorous stories) made it seem like that was a goal worth achieving.

I've been thrilled that my ''Mace Bauer Mystery'' series, featuring three sisters and the mama who drives them all crazy, has been compared to Anne's Southern Sisters books. What an honor! Check out the family relationships in MAMA DOES TIME (Midnight Ink, 2008), or the just released MAMA RIDES SHOTGUN (2009), and let me know what you think.

I loved these books too. I also like the Hannah Swenson series by Joanne Fluke. It is small town, family oriented, fun, and of course a murder or two.

I also fell in love with Anne George's books upon reading the first one. I will be checking back in the hopes someone does have an author to recommend with a similar style. Anne will certainly be a hard act to follow. Thanks!

I loved the southern sisters books too. I wish Anne George was still with us. If anyone knows of another author similar would you please let me know?

Nancy:
Stumbled upon your blog – did you find an answer to a series like Anne George's "sister" series? I loved all those books.

Kitty,

It sounds like her son is as gracious as she was…
