"Once things got started with this book I was like "what?". I really didn't get the plot....it seemed to come out of nowhere....and the side story with the wood delivery at the beginning was just bizarre. I thought the "mystery" part was pretty good aside from it feeling out of place. I wasn't expecting the twist in Aurora's life at the end. I'm wondering where the series will go at thiis point with currently two books left."

Quotes
-
“A gripping tale...Harris mixes elements of a cozy and her darker themes with skill and panache.”
— Publishers Weekly -
“This second Roe Teagarden mystery is capably written and accurately captures the varied landscapes of Georgia and Ohio. Although the tale starts out like an endearing cozy with a Southern accent, Harris ambushes the reader with a stunning ending that carries the impact of Sherlock Holmes falling into the Reichenbach Falls.”
— Booklist -
“Live-wire action, small-town antics, unexpected plot ramifications, and a humorous tone make for fine reading.”
— Library Journal -
“Gossipy, blithe, often funny—with a wind-up that’s fierce, shocking, and poignant. A winner for Harris.”
— Kirkus Reviews

" I love this series (and this author's other series too) and this was no exception. Quirky characters, gruesome murders and a light fun tone make this a really enjoyable read. And as a bonus, Roe is a librarian! "
— Lorraine, 1/29/2014 -
" well fudge, that was sad! "
— Natalie, 1/28/2014 -
" This one was a bit darker then the rest but still exciting and a fun read. Looking forward to the next one. "
— Shelley, 1/25/2014 -
" This was the first I've read by Charlaine Harris. This was a lightly written, modern day mystery. While I had the who done it part figured out, nothing surprised me more than the totally unexpected twists and turns. Aurora Teagarden's niece shows up on their doorstep with a baby no one knew she had. This was the beginning of a saga that brought Aurora and Martin back to Martin's hometown where they learned more than they bargained for about their family and neighbors. I liked this book and look forward to reading more from Harris. "
— Ann, 1/20/2014 -
" I have loved every book in this series, until now. So bummed. Didn't enjoy the plot & hated the ending. Can't say anything else, because I don't want to spoil for others who may be reading. "
— Lori, 1/11/2014 -
" Made for a good vacation read. "
— Debi, 12/30/2013 -
" I like Aurora..but the plots leave something to be desired. "
— Michele, 12/18/2013 -
" The sixth Aurora Teagarden mystery. Sure, I'm hooked and have the seventh on hold at my library because this one is a real shocker. "
— Ann, 12/7/2013 -
" I love this series, but this was the last one I read. I won't tell you why, because it will reveal too much, but I dont have the heart to read the next few. "
— K., 12/6/2013 -
" Another quick & easy read. This series is my favorite Charlaine Harris series because she leaves the sex out and just sticks with the story. I appreciate that. "
— Brenda, 7/8/2013 -
" Wow. This one was great. Very emotional. "
— Buffy, 2/20/2013 -
" great book, as all the rest have been, but the ending was so sad "
— Kristin, 10/13/2012 -
" Not my favorite one of the series, too sad. "
— Shaunesay, 3/21/2012 -
" Definitely my least favorite so far in this series. Roe was totally annoying, the story was disjointed and the ending was just plain weird. "
— Margarita, 12/12/2011 -
" not as engrossing as previous books but it was ok "
— Marcia, 11/26/2011 -
" just not into this series...this was a decent story, but at the end, the long term arc just happened...we began the book in a certain "stage" of Roe's life, and now, it's changed with little fanfare. "
— Elaine, 11/16/2011 -
" One of the librarian Teagarden series. Woman disappears, leaving her baby behind. Husband found dead at the scene. Who did it? Whose baby is it really? Suspenseful, fast read. "
— Patty, 10/28/2011 -
" Very entertaining. A quick read. This is the 6th book in a series, but the first one I read. "
— Jen, 10/27/2011 -
" I just finished book #6, A Fool and His Honey, in this series, and I just loved it. I couldn't stop reading! I have actually read three books in this series in two days, because they are so good that I just have to see what happens next to Roe and the other characters. "
— Nancy, 10/13/2011 -
" Excellent. Sophisticated storyline, best one yet. "
— Hannah, 5/17/2011 -
" Mystery, romance and humor again brought this book to life. A sad ending, but opens the door to so much more in the next book. "
— Norma, 4/28/2011 -
" Even though I am reading (have read) the whole series in one gulp, this book make me wonder why I bother, what with a murder, a baby, a mystery explained, snow and lots of it, more death and finally the writing out of a main character. Fun times.<br/> "
— Bookmole, 4/21/2011 -
" I find it hard to believe that anyone can be that clueless when it comes to kids. And the ending was sad. "
— Heather, 4/4/2011 -
" A little over the top, but I admit the ending made me go to the library from the next book in the series. "
— Cathy, 3/21/2011 -
" Surprise ending! Whow would have thought!? "
— Micaela, 3/10/2011 -
" This is a new series staring Ro Teagarden and I was so bored with these two books that I ended up reading the first fifty pages then finishing the last forty. Charline Harris is a wonderful writer but I just don’t like Ro. She’s a weenie, whinny, silly woman. Well, you can’t win them all. "
— Vfields, 2/8/2011 -
" Predictable but still a fun, mindless read<br/> "
— Cindy, 1/31/2011 -

— Nancy, 1/23/2011 -
" I must say I absolutely hate the fact that Charlaine Harris killed off Martin. I'm furious. I really don't know if I want to continue the series. I'm glad there is only 2 more books. Blah. "
— Amy, 1/17/2011 -
" This one was a bit darker then the rest but still exciting and a fun read. Looking forward to the next one. "
