Maggi Andersen verfasst Abenteuergeschichten, die von sinnlicher Romantik durchdrungen sind und sich von ihren frühen literarischen Erkundungen inspirieren lassen. Ihre Erzählungen aus der Regency-Ära werden von klassischen literarischen Persönlichkeiten geprägt, während ihre gotischen viktorianischen Mysterien die Stile anderer Meister des Genres widerspiegeln. Sie befasst sich auch mit zeitgenössischem romantischem Suspense und Jugendromanen. Tiere bevölkern häufig ihre Erzählungen, was ihr tiefes Engagement für Tierschutzorganisationen widerspiegelt.
