Real Murders by Charlaine Harris

Real Murders (Aurora Teagarden, #1)

by Charlaine Harris

The first Aurora Teagarden mystery, from the bestselling author of the Sookie Stackhouse Mysteries

Lawrenceton, Georgia, may be a growing suburb of Atlanta, but it's still a small town at heart. Librarian Aurora 'Roe' Teagarden grew up there, and she knows more than enough about her fellow townsfolk - including which ones share her interest in the darker side of human nature.

With these fellow crime buffs, Roe belongs to a club called Real Murders, which meets once a month to analyse famous cases. It's a harmless pastime - until the night she finds a member dead, killed in a manner that eerily resembles the very crime the club was about to discuss. And as other brutal copycat killings follow, Roe finds herself having to uncover the person behind the terrifying game that is casting all the members of Real Murders - herself included - as prime suspects - or potential victims.

I happened across the Hallmark series and really enjoyed the first two episodes/movies, so I was interested in reading the books - although I usually try to read the book first. I liked the mystery. I love the idea of the Real Murder club. Aurora was an alright character, she could be a bit boring at times but I generally liked her. She's a librarian so you know. The mystery was interesting and I didn't guess the ending. The love interests were meh but the focus fell on the murder so that kept me happy enough. Overall enjoyable cozy mystery.
