Publisher Description
From the New York Times bestselling author of Dead Over Heels and the Sookie Stackhouse novels. Roe is still in mourning over her husband's death when a movie company arrives in Lawrenceton. They've come to make a film based on a book written by her one-time boyfriend Robin Crusoe, a book that detailed their shared investigation of a series of murders that occurred years before. But when the lead actress-who is playing Roe-is killed, Robin and Roe join forces once again to thwart a killer, without knowing that Roe herself is the next target.

"So many people only know Charlaine Harris from her Sookie Stackhouse novels, but they should really check out all of her mystery series as well! She make very likeable, quirky characters and, although the mysteries aren't complex, very interesting storylines. I hadn't decided how I felt about Martin dying in the previous book, but Harris handled it well and make it believable. It helped to set it a year later and reintroducing Robin was an excellent idea...I've always liked him for Roe since the first book and was sad that she had written him out. The ending of the book happened a little too quickly and was tied up very neatly, but I enjoyed it a lot and would definately recommend it!"

" Charlaine comes up with very interesting plot lines that come in and out of this mystery series "
— Debbie, 2/16/2014 -
" This is probably my least favorite out of the series so far. I didn't enjoy the movie cast, except for Robin Crusoe. There were a whole lot of characters (from the movie cast) that were introduced all at one time, and I found myself having to constantly flip through the book to figure out who was who and why they were important. To me, that's never a good sign. I did, however, enjoy Aurora immensly in this installment. I loved the fact that she can overcome her grief about Martin's passing enough to sell their house and embrace a relationship with Robin. I hope the next and final book in this series does not disappoint. "

" Had to search for this one too but these books are awesome! "
— Joan, 1/28/2014 -
" This may be my favorite of the series so far. It was a quick read (took just about a day) which also helps. Aurora suffered a horrible loss at the end of the previous book. This one takes place a year later and sees the return of Robin Carusoe, a romance from the first book. Robin wrote a book about the murders from the first book in the series and it is now being turned into a movie. As you can imagine, someone is killed and Aurora gets knocked around a bit before it is all over. "

" Missing Martin hopefully Rora can find her way HAHA they finally have cell phones Only one book left and the series is over really wonder where it will end "
— Val, 1/18/2014 -
" The 7th book in this mystery series was a bit of a disappointment to me. Still a well-written and suspenseful story, as I have come to expect from Charlaine Harris. Nevertheless, I was put off by Roe Teagarden's whiny, bitchy turn in this book. She didn't much like herself and I didn't either. "
— Carol, 1/13/2014 -
" A lot going on with with Roe in this one. I loved how the author brought back the character, Robin Crusoe, who was from the first one. This book does focus on how Roe copes with being a widow, which I enjoyed because it really developed her character in a new way. Also, there was the multi-murderers, which gave it the ultimate twist. "
— Liz, 1/10/2014 -
" This one was a nice change of pace for the series. Another quick & easy read. The Aurora Teagarden series is my favorite Charlaine Harris series because she leaves the sex out and just sticks with the story. I appreciate that. "
— Brenda, 1/7/2014 -
" I love anything Charlaine Harris! The Aurora Teagarden series, while not my favorite were still fun and entertaining! "
— Heather, 12/16/2013 -
" Murder, Mayhem and Hollywood. Really? Enjoyable fluff. Actually beginning to think Book Eight might be a no-read. "
— Bookmole, 12/8/2013 -
" I read this book 10 years ago and loved it. I enjoyed it so much the second time around I had to start reading the series over again! "
— Chris, 9/18/2013 -
" Started this series to fill in my time until the next Sookie book came out and I was done with Harper series. Pretty good series. Easy read and a good little mystery to pass a Sunday afternoon! "
— Kelly, 8/4/2013 -
" A nice little fluff mystery. Enough action to keep my interest but not so much that I truly have to pay attention. "
— Kona, 7/26/2013 -
" Good, but like her other series better. "
— Vickie, 2/28/2013 -
" Overall, a quick, fun read. Not too crazy about the movie stars and that whole aspect. I liked Aurora better with Martin! "
— Lauren, 4/17/2012 -
" I liked this one much better than the previous one in the series which seemed kind of heavy. (Mystery novels with puns in the titles and spunky, librarian heroines should not be too dark!) "
— Mkb, 9/30/2011 -
" I accidentally read book #8 before this one, oops! No harm, I was still able to enjoy this cozy mystery. "
— Janel, 8/1/2011 -
" i used to like these books but when I reread them, they really were rather boring and stupid. "
— Ry, 7/14/2011 -
" Meh. I do love her attention to detail. The specificity of the settings and outfits of each character makes reading her books like reading a TV episode script with costuming notes. Not literature, not particularly well written, but a very cosy & unchallenging bedtime/nightstand read. "
— Anne, 5/20/2011 -
" Murder, Mayhem and Hollywood. Really? Enjoyable fluff. Actually beginning to think Book Eight might be a no-read. "
— Bookmole, 4/21/2011 -
" I guessed the murderer half way through the book. That takes away a bit of the enjoyment. "
— Cathy, 4/16/2011 -
" I love this series...light, funny, and a great mystery. "
— Rebecca, 4/3/2011 -
" Another excellent instalment. Really did enjoy this book. "
— Jenny, 3/3/2011 -
" I loved this Aurora book! It was just crazy with all the loose ends and all the things that tied together at the end of the book. I only have one more to read though! That makes me sad. Ms. Harris said she might write more Aurora in the future. I hope so! "
— Laura, 3/1/2011 -
" I love this series, they are quick easy reads, but very entertaining. "
— Ashley, 12/15/2010 -
" This book made me blush. This was much more "spicy" than the other ones before. The character development and plot twists are getting more interesting. Motives behind the murders are much better. Each one just gets better and better. "
— Renee, 11/26/2010 -
" A nice little fluff mystery. Enough action to keep my interest but not so much that I truly have to pay attention. "
