Real Murders (Aurora Teagarden, #1)
Charlaine Harris
Length: 6 hrs and 7 mins Though a small town at heart, Lawrenceton, Georgia, has its dark side-and crime buffs. One of whom is librarian Aurora "Roe" Teagarden, a member of the Real Murders Club, which meets once a month to analyze famous cases. It's a harmless pastime -- until the night she finds a member killed in a manner that eerily resembles the crime the club was about to discuss. And as other brutal "copycat" killings follow, Roe will have to uncover the person behind the terrifying game, one that casts all the members of Real Murders, herself included, as prime suspects -- or potential victims.

0This was a nice change of pace from the Sookie series.
Aurora Teagarden is the local librarian for her small Georgia town and also part of a club that calls themselves the "Real Murders Club". Each member has a fascination with real life murders and meet with that common interest. That is until one day one of their club members turns up dead!
Aurora finds herself in the middle of this tragedy and quickly finds a scary link that makes all her club members both suspects and possible victims in these murders.
Aurora is just a great character. She isn't helpless like Sookie can be and I didn't find myself getting annoyed with her antics. Overall, I enjoyed this first book and will continue reading right away!
0I thought I had read this series back in the late 90s but nothing seems familiar so maybe I meant to read them and just didn't get around to it. I like them a lot. There are instances in which I feel like the books are older than they are. Even keeping in mind that they were written in the early to mid 90s, sometimes they, at least the first 3, feel more like they were written in the early 80s. Anyway, they are good and I like Roe a lot. I look forward to reading the rest of the series and eventually watching the movies.
