Publisher Description
Charlaine Harris achieved international celebrity with her New York Times bestselling Sookie Stackhouse novels, which are the inspiration for the hit television program True Blood. Here she launches another acclaimed series with a captivating mystery sure to charm her countless fans and win her new ones.
Twenty-eight-year-old librarian Aurora “Roe” Teagarden and the members of the Real Murders Club meet monthly in their Georgia community to analyze some of history’s most baffling and legendary cases. But one day, Aurora discovers a club member brutally slain in a manner that closely resembles the case they were about to discuss. Soon more copycat murders are committed, and suddenly every member of the Real Murders Club is a potential victim—and a potential suspect.

"now that I have read everything by Stephenie Meyer I thought it was time to move on to Charlaine Harris. I decided to start with the "Aurora Teagarden" series...I really liked this and had NO idea who the murderer was until the VERY end :) I look forward to reading more in this series. "

Real Murders Listener Reviews
-
" A good mystery, little old fashion. The style of wrtiting reminded me of Agatha Christie's books - especially those of Miss Maple. However, it is light reading compare to Dame Christie as there is no "excitement". Well written book. Looking forward to reading 2nd book - A Bone to Pick. "
— Helen, 2/19/2014 -
" Quick easy to read murder mystery, the sort of book that doesn't require your brain in gear. Enjoyed the premise of the murders, and most of them I was aware of. Did feel this could be longer, the ending was very quick and felt a little flat, however I'll read the next to see what happens next. "
— Deanne, 2/13/2014 -
" After reading the Sookie Stackhouse books and eating them up, I bought all of this series...all of them. Ug! I am slowly going through them- haven't picked one up now for at least half a year. This series is so boring. I just don't understand how she can hit home with one series and suck so bad on another. "
— Lindsey, 1/22/2014 -
" I don't know what it is about Aurora, but I just love this whole series. I like Charlaine's characters because they are almost always strong, solid, people. I enjoy a good leading lady. ;) "

" Good mystery. Off beat heroine. "
— Polly, 12/14/2013 -
" Good mystery novels with a sensible Southern heroine. "
— Wealhtheow, 12/8/2013 -
" this was a pretty good book. not her True Blood but a good mystery novelist! "
— Alissa, 11/18/2013 -
" This book seems very much like a first effort. The mystery was interesting, but I'm curious to see how the series progresses. "
— Michele, 10/19/2013 -
" Ok very light and quick read "
— Melinda, 10/14/2013 -
" This was a good, quick read. Not exactly the best I've ever read and it didn't come anywhere close to Sookie. "
— Katty, 8/14/2013 -
" This is such a cute character! I think that the reason why I like Charlaine Harris' characters is because they are so relateable! I think that my fav so far is Roe, because she's a librarian! Okay, I'm not a librarian, but I love books and I work at Borders! I can't wait to read the rest now! "
— Shaun, 6/24/2013 -
" This was a very quick easy read. I was looking for something just fun, not intense or emotional and this fit the bill. "
— Nick, 6/23/2013 -
" I like Charlaine Harris as a writer, and really enjoyed this series. Aurora Teagarden is an eccentric, charming, little sleuth, who becomes entangled in all sorts of bizarre murder mysteries in her hometown. "
— Elise, 4/22/2013 -
" I liked this, although the main character did not do much detective-work, tbh. More like, was in the wrong place at the right time. "
— Sophie, 1/9/2013 -
" After all the raving about Sookie Stackhouse I've listened to from friends and family, I was interested to see how Mz. Harris handled a murder mystery - pleasantly surprised! Will continue this series, and check out her other murder mystery series as well. "
— Amanda, 11/3/2012 -
" I got hooked on this series instantly. "
— Hhsuzie, 7/18/2012 -
" One of her earliest works. Entertaining, but not as gripping as her later series so far. "
— Denise, 6/29/2012 -
" I've read 6 of this series in 3 days. It's a beyond easy read and pretty simplistic as far as mystery writing goes. Still, it kept me interested and I always love the characters Charlaine Harris writes. "
— Kileen, 3/14/2012 -
" This is Harris' typical style but I didn't enjoy it as much as her other series. Roe seems more believable as a character, but her life - and by extension the book - seemed a little flat. "
— Kate, 3/13/2012 -
" Good cozy read. I'll definitely continue the series. "
— Christa, 3/11/2012 -
" I mostly liked this book. I think I was expecting it to be a lot funnier, more in line with the Sookie books, but it was surprisingly lacking in the humor department. The mystery was well done, and it was fast paced. "
— Cori, 2/10/2012 -
" Murder mystery series that somehow manages to be...light-ish. "
— Emily, 6/26/2011 -
" didn't like it as much as I thougt I would. I probadly will not continue with the series. "
— Janice, 6/23/2011 -
" This series never grabbed me like the Lily Bard or early Sookie Stackhouse. "
— Maria, 6/21/2011 -
" Great start to an interesting series. Goes to show librarians aren't always meek & mild!<br/> "
— Tami, 6/15/2011 -
" Much better series than the Lily Bard one. I actually care what happens to the people in this book. While it wasn't that hard to figure out who the killer was, I enjoyed getting to the resolution. I look forward to reading more of the series. "
— Samantha, 6/15/2011 -
" I really enjoyed this. Different to what I have been reading recently. A lovely change. Did not suspect the murderer at all. "
— Leanne, 6/7/2011 -
" A fun murder mystery. I didn't solve the murder, but had a great time figuring out what murder was being imitateed. "
— Lissa, 6/6/2011 -
" I think this may be Charlaine's first book. It is not her best, but I will continue the series. Unlike some of her other series this does not have anything supernatural in it. The plot was interesting and it was a suprise ending. "
— Debbie, 6/4/2011 -
" Quick read but not much substance. "
— Judith, 5/31/2011 -
" Looking forward to reading the next books in the series! "
— Kerri, 5/28/2011 -
" The description on the book jacket was the best part of the book. "
— Ellen, 5/1/2011 -
" I enjoyed the series..but not really my favorite. I probably wouldn't read again, but enjoyable nonetheless. "
