Anne George’s novels offer a delightful mix of gentle comedy and compelling mystery. Murder Runs in the Family finds two feisty 60-something sisters doing a little amateur sleuthing into the death of a visiting genealogist. Mary Alice has spared no expense for her daughter’s wedding. Two days after the glittering affair, Mary Alice and Patricia Anne are spending a fascinating lunch listening to the groom’s cousin explain the ’dog-eat-dog" world of professional genealogy. Minutes later they are shocked to learn that the genteel woman they were just speaking with has fallen from a courthouse window. Determined to get to the bottom of things, Patricia Anne soon finds herself enmeshed in a world where proud old families are willing to kill to keep their ancestor’s dirty laundry from being aired. Full of good clean fun, Anne George’s novels deliver nonstop suspense tempered with light-hearted laughs and a cast of quirky characters. Ruth Ann Phimister’s rollicking narration perfectly captures both the love of family and iron will of these two Southern ladies. Download and start listening now!

Listener Opinions

  • 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Nlangham | 10/17/2016

    " I read all of the books in this series years ago. Really enjoying listening to them now. Phimister captures Patricia Anne's voice perfectly. For their genre (cozy murder mystery), I give all the books in this series 5 stars. Maybe it's because I'm southern and can relate to the setting and characters. "

  • 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Mark Macatee | 2/20/2014

    " These books just get better each time. "

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 Mary | 2/20/2014

    " This is a light-hearted mystery with likeable main characters - southern sisters Patricia Ann & Mary Alice get involved in a geneologist murder. Good dialogue. Some humor. I have read other in this series & will read more. "

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 Kay | 2/16/2014

    " Genealogy plays a big part in this cute little mystery. So of course, it is the favorite of all I've read by Anne George! "

  • 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5 Pr Latta | 2/11/2014

    " Third in the Southern Sisters cozy mystery series - it is helpful to begin with Murder on a Girls Night Out as an introduction to the series and the characters (retired school teacher and her older sister). The characters and the mystery are classic Anne George in their Southern-style humor and well-laid out plot (the breadcrumbs left don't make it a complete surprise). The genealogy twist is nice but the story is beginning to feel dated (DOS computing references may puzzle any younger readers who come across this title and accessibility to Ancestry.com and other modern resources deflate the mystery a bit as well). I'm going to try #4 in audio based on enthusiastic reviews here for the narrator. "

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 Dawn | 1/31/2014

    " Another good book from Anne George. I really do like this series of books. I will be sad when I read the last book. "

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 Wanderer â™” Wanderlust â™” | 1/22/2014

    " Audio version. Definitely liking this one better than the first two. The mystery is stronger and the characters are really growing on me. Love the humor between the two sisters and also seeing the other family members progressing through each book. Fun series. Definitely 4 stars "

  • 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5 Donna Halloran | 1/21/2014

    " I enjoyed this. It was my first anne george. The characters were a little superficial. I must admit, though, that I think I know several women who fit this description to a tee... and they all live in Bham. It was fun to read a book with this setting. It made me miss Bham. "

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 Laura Alden | 1/13/2014

    " The Southern Sisters strike again! Irreverent and funny with a touch of sadness, Anne George's mysteries are satisfying on many levels. "

  • 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5 Cathy | 1/8/2014

    " Cute book! Read for book club and it was entertaining with a fun Southern flavor. "

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 Jane | 8/23/2013

    " I read this book when I was in a book club when we lived in Anniston, AL probably 6 years ago. It was a cute book. It was also quite funny. I read a few more of the books by Anne George thereafter. "

  • 2 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 5 Kae Larsen | 6/14/2013

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 Audry | 11/26/2012

    " sexual innuendo, and some mild swearing. Two 60 something sisters happen on a mystery by accident. Apparently, they do that a lot. They are funny and cute. "

    " #3 in the Southern Sisters series. Meg, a genealogist fakes her own death, to cover-up the subsequent murder of her former husband Judge Bobby Haskins & frames fellow family-tree professional Gerogiana Peach. Love the Southern Sisters. "
