"While the series doesn't have the sparkle or the edge of the Sookie Stackhouse series, it features interesting characters and a serviceable mystery. I found the first book to be enjoyable bujt averamge. The second book engaged me more quickly and made Roe a more likable character."

    " Although this is a murder mystery, it's a pretty light read: easy, funny, and quick. Roe Teagarden inherits a house from an older friend, and as she is cleaning it out and trying to decide if she wants to sell it or keep it, two equally shocking things happen: she finds a skull (yes, a human skull) in the window seat...and her ex and his very pregnant wife move in across the street. Roe finds it hard to figure out which one throws her off more, but she does spend more time trying to figure out A) whose skull it is and B) who was responsible for for killing...whoever it is. "

    " This series is much like watching a soap opera. It's a quick read, with a decent flow of the story and enough twists to make you question what you think is going to happen. However, this book in particular was not my favorite. It felt like there was too much of the same lead in and then all of the sudden the mystery was solved and nothing happened with it. I read it in a couple of nights so I'll probably finish out the series. "

    " I was pleasantly surprised by this book. I picked it up at the library as a quick read for the commute to work, but was quickly drawn into the world of 'Roe' and her friends/enemies. It was entertaining and well-written, I will be checking out the other books in the Teagarden series. "

    " While this fits into my favorite cozy mystery genre it seemed to be like so many other series I'd read. Just change the names, places, and theme (tea, knitting, librarian...) and they're interchangeable. "

    " Kinda boring. I'm hoping not all books will strictly go the same way as this one did. It follows more the day-to-day boredom of Aurora's life and then adds a few mystery details here and there ... then all of a sudden, solved .. I don't know ... maybe I just need to get used to this formula of story "
