Three Bedrooms, One Corpse (Aurora Teagarden Mystery, #3

Three Bedrooms, One Corpse by Charlaine Harris


My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is the third book in the series and Aurora's mother would like her to consider working in her real estate office. The first house she takes someone into has a dead body of a Realtor in the master bedroom. Soon it becomes apparent that someone is killing Realtor. There is another problem too. Someone is stealing from the houses that are being shown and Aurora thinks the two things are connected.

On the personal front, Aurora has met a new man and there seems to be great chemistry between. He has been brought in by his company to straighten out the local plant, but there are rumors that he is ruthless and may have a shady past. Aurora has her hands full this time!

Real Murders: Aurora Teagarden Mystery, #1

Real Murders by Charlaine Harris


My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I started this series with book #2, so I had to go back and catch up. I like the device of a group of people who are interested in old murders. The club Aurora belongs to studies famous murders, especially unsolved murders and discusses them, only this meeting was very different from previous ones. This night someone was murdered and arranged to mimic a famous murder and a member was the victim. As the plot progresses, two things become apparent; someone was killing members of the group and the murder had to be someone IN the group.

Aurora Teagarden is the main character and she is very appealing. The surrounding cast are not as well developed, but are interesting and become more developed as the series goes on. I liked the mix of characters and look forward to reading more of Harris' books.

A Bone to Pick

A Bone to Pick by Charlaine Harris



This is the first book in this series that I have read and I enjoyed it so much more than the one Sookie Stackhouse book I read. I guess it was the subject matter rather than the author. I'm glad I gave this one a try. Something of a cozy mystery, the characters are amusing and the heroine is delightful. Aurora has been left a house and sizable inheritance by an elderly friend who was in murder mystery group with her. The house includes a hidden skull and a mystery to solve. The book is character driven rather than plot driven, but the characters are amusing and easy to follow. I'll be reading more of these.
