Would you like to read what I had to say about a mystery writer who really inspired me? I felt as if Anne George was a member of my family. Read my article in Mystery Scene Magazine here.

The Blackbird Sisters Mysteries,
written by Nancy Martin, feature
Nora, Libby and Emma Blackbird,
three Philadelphia heiresses whose
parents have run off with their trust
funds, forcing all three women
to get jobs for the first time in their
lives. Nora Blackbird becomes
the assistant to a newspaper society
columnist and attends parties
for a living. Unfortunately, Nora
also stumbles over a lot of dead
bodies while she's covering
the social scene on the Main Line.
Follow Nora's amateur sleuthing
as she solves crimes of fashion
as well as aristocratic murder!
Just finished Little Black Book. More fun with the Blackbirds and Mick! Too bad now I'll have to wait another year to find out what happens next. Yes, there is murder, mystery, and suspense, but somehow there is a lightheartedness also. Thanks to Nancy Martin for all the books and the hours of enjoyment they have given me.

I found Nancy after finishing the Southern Sisters. I was heart broken that Anne had died and I wouldn't be able to join them in their adventures any longer. I was so glad to find Nora, Em and Libby. Thes great characters have given me joy and made me envious of the sister bond that, with two brothers, I get to experience in their stories. Thanks to Nancy for writing them for me and making me pine for Anne a little less.

I am a huge fan of Nancy Martin's "Blackbird Sisters" mysteries! Currently, I am almost 75% finished reading her current paperback offering: "A Little Night Murder!"
Martin never fails to deliver! A sweet, caring, strong, determined heroine, Nora Blackbird, leads the reader to murder and mayhem and fun and laughs in each novel of this enchanting series. Nora's two sisters, extended family, loyal friends, casual acquaintances, work colleagues and others from her work life as a guest at Philadephlia's most elite parties add huge mixtures of entertainment, murder, and adventure in this suspensful series. Additionally, Nora's closely associated to a mob life partner and his extended family and others add even more excitement and smiles to these fast-paced enjoyable books!
Like Martin, I, too, was captivated by Anne George's "Southern Sisters" series. Sadly, there are only eight novels, but the reader has a wonderful time exploring the crime ridden world of two very dissimilar sisters. Fans of Nancy Martin's books will surely enjoy these novels from Anne George.
Count me among the Nancy Martin fans who are already anticipating the next book in the well crafted entertaining Blackbird Sisters mysteries!
