Blurb: 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.
My Comments: Again, I am amazed at the ease in which Charlaine Harris seems to flow from one character series to another! This is the first Aurora Teagarden book in the series, and I found it very interesting. It kept me guessing, and had all the requisite red herrings. I’m not sure if I really like Aurora, the character, yet or not, but I certainly enjoyed the book enough to want to read the next one in the series. This isn't literary fiction, but a fun ride all the same.
