Real Murders is a crime club. A great opportunity for the people of Lawrenceton to get together, drink wine, eat chocolate and talk at length about grisly killings. It's a strange but harmless pastime. That is, until the murders begin...
One night, librarian Aurora 'Roe' Teagarden finds a dead body. Killed in a manner eerily similar to a famous case they were about to discuss. And as more brutal copycat crimes follow, Roe must find the perpetrator. Quickly. Before she becomes the next suspect...or the next victim.
A librarian solving mysteries. Talk about a dream come true.
Thumbs Up!
The flow of this book was great. There were moments of down
time when the action was dimmed a bit but I ddidn'tfeel like I had to rush
through these bits to get back to the who-dun-it. Then there are the deaths.
Although it is obvious from what is mentioned
that the murders are pretty gory they aren't gone into with a great deal of
detail. I liked that. There were also plenty of supporting characters to shed
suspicion on… A whole book club worth.
Thumbs Down!
I am not sure how I
feel about the heroine yet. The novel is told in first person but everything
she tells us or thinks seems to be surface stuff with no depth. There was a
romantic sub-plot of will she chose the policeman or the author which I could
have happily left.
All in All!
This was an enjoyable mystery. I really hope I can get to
like Aurora more in the next few books.
Ps. (not to brag or anything) I totally guessed who did it!
