Book Review: Real Murders


Real Murders (Aurora Teagarden, #1)Real Murders by Charlaine Harris
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

After waiting months for a library copy of Real Murders, I finally broke down & bought my own copy for my eReader, and proceeded to finish the novel in one juicy sweep. I do love Charlaine Harris' books, and now that the Sookie Stackhouse series is almost finished, I'm happy that I have a new-to-me series to jump into. Aurora Teagarden is a delightful heroine, both smart & funny. I'd have appreciated a bit more of a plot twist at the end, but let's be honest-- I'm not expecting Hitchcockian story lines from these books.

All in all, I found Real Murders a real satisfying read.

  1. Speaking of Charlaine Harris, have you read the Grave Sight (I think that's the title, of one of them, if not the first) books? I have only read the first, but I think that there is at least three. I enjoyed the first one, but borrowed it from a friend and have yet to see the sequels...

  2. Yes, Rob, I've read the series of which you speak, about Harper Connolly. While I enjoyed them, I was hesitant about some elements--no spoilers, since you haven't all of them. Charlaine Harris said that she isn't sure if she'll be continuing the series beyond what she's already written, so read them now!
