This is book #2 in the Aurora Teagarden series, by Charlaine Harris of Sookie Stackhouse fame. In this episode, the tiny librarian inherits a house and half a million dollars from a casual friend from her murder club. The Real Murders club, which disbanded in the first novel, was a group of people who loved reading and talking about true crimes.
In this book, Aurora discovers a human skull in her new house and has to figure out who the murderer is AND who the victim was.
As usual in Charlaine's work, the dialogue is stilted and unrealistic, but the characters are fun, and you want to find out what happens to them. In this one, the whole mystery is suddenly solved with no subtlety or finesse. I'll still read the rest of the series, even though I have some complaints about her writing.
