Yet another by Charlaine Harris. This is the first Aurora Teagarden mystery. Aurora is a tiny librarian who sort of fills out the librarian stereotype (no boyfriend, big glasses, spends a lot of time with her mother).
But she's also a member of the Real Murders club, which meets once a month to talk about famous true crimes. Guess what! A member of the club is murdered in a way that mimics a famous true crime. And then another....
As with all of Harris's novels, it takes place in the South, stars a woman aged between mid-20s and mid-30s, and the woman is pursued by several men after a long dry spell. The woman doesn't necessarily WANT to solve crimes, but she gets pulled in.
They're fun and somehow light even though they deal with such dark subject matter.
I only have one more Harris novel on hold at the library, and then I may take a break from her for a while. I can only read so much fluff and then I need something else. But I will be back to finish up all the series, eventually.
