This is not a typical cozy mystery, but having read Charlaine Harris before, I did not expect it to be. The characters could be your next door neighbors and we all know that some pretty creepy things can be hidden behind closed doors. I was kept guessing until the very end (which a good mystery should do) and I look forward to more adventures with Aurora Teagarden.

This was a fun little book. A group interested in true crime start a club called the Real Murders in small-town Georgia. Things turn sinister when someone is taking pages out of their case studies and murdering people fashioned after other cases. The main character, Aurora Teagarden, finds herself in the thick of things as she stumbles upon bodies and evidence, sometimes merely being at the wrong place at the wrong time.

I admit the culprit wasn't obvious to me, so Harris did a good job "fooling" me until the reveal occurred. I liked Aurora Teagarden - not as well, admittedly, as Harper Connelly or Sookie Stackhouse, but I'll read more to see how this librarian grows.

New York times bestselling author Charlaine Harris introduces a Southern librarian whose bookish bent for murder gets her involved in a real life killing spree. Aurora "Roe" Teagarden belongs to a club called Real Murders that meets once a month to analyze famour cases. It's a harmless pastime until the night she finds a member dead, killed in a manner that resembles the crime the club was about to discuss. And as other copycat killings follow, Roe will have to uncover the person behind the terrifying game or perhaps be one of it's victims.

I loved this book and it was the first mystery to read for me. very good
Someone is killing the crime buffs of the Real Murders Society in Lawrenceton, Georgia. A librarian, Aurora Teagarden, sets out to catch the brutal murderer after fellow club members end up as victims. The uncanny resemblances to famous crimes challenge Roe and her two admirers, policeman Arthur Smith and mystery writer Robin Crusoe, to pursue the criminal. The lighthearted, witty handling of characters contrasts with the heightening suspense as Aurora seeks clues by searching past mysteries for the killer's identity--until she is caught in the sadistic web of terror herself.

Something strange is going on in the small town of Lawrenceton, Georgia. Librarian Aurora ("Roe") Teagarden, member of a local group of crime buffs who call themselves the "Real Murders" Club, finds the body of Mamie Wright, one of the other club members, savagely murdered and arranged in a similar fashion to one of the murders being studied by the club. The bodies pile up quickly when several more murders occur in town, all patterned after famous murders from the past. This was a great first story in this series, with lots of action and mystery. I can't wait to read the other books in this series!

I'm a big Sookie fan, so at first I couldn't get into this one. After a while, I found I could't put it down. It is a nice quick read with likeable charecters

Good characterizations, interesting storyline, good ending with a completely creepy plot twist. I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the series.

In the true spirit of Charlaine Harris, I loved this novel! Her stories never cease to capitivate and the main character was truly believable and identifiable. I can't wait to continue the series. The Harper Connely series was my favorite...but now we'll see what else Aurora can provide with her next episode.

Good mystery. Didn't see the culprit coming. Interesting heroine.

I have become a huge fan of Charlaine Harris, and this book is enjoyable and a quick read, you begin to feel very close to Roe and the things going on in her life, it helps she and I are so much alike.

This book was okay....Just okay. It really didn't pull me in like most of the other Charlaine Harris books that I have read. I just couldn't care for the main charachter. I really had to push myself through this one.

So many killed in a small Georgian town, why people weren't walking around with guns amazes me.

I love the Sookie stackhouse series , but this one did not grab me!
