The Amelia Butterworth Series is a collection of three mystery novels featuring the nosy society spinster Amelia Butterworth, the prototype for Miss Marple, Miss Silver and other creations. Anna Katharine Green is credited with shaping detective fiction into its classic form, and developing the series detective. Anna Katharine Green (1846-1935) was one of the first writers of detective fiction in America and distinguished herself by writing well plotted, legally accurate stories. Green has been called "the mother of the detective novel". She stamped the mystery genre with the distinctive features that would influence writers from Agatha Christie and Conan Doyle to contemporary authors of suspenseful "whodunits".
