Product Description:
Though a small town at heart, Lawrenceton, Georgia, has its dark side-and crime buffs. One of whom is librarian Aurora 'Roe' Teagarden, a member of the Real Murders Club, which meets once a month to analyze famous cases. It's a harmless pastime-until the night she finds a member killed in a manner that eerily resembles the crime the club was about to discuss. And as other brutal 'copycat' killings follow, Roe will have to uncover the person behind the terrifying game, one that casts all the members of Real Murders, herself included, as prime suspects-or potential victims.

- Murders that resemble old murder cases
Aurora "Roe" Teagarden is a librarian. She doesn't have much of a social life. Once a month on Friday she meets her fellow murder mystery enthusiasts, and they discuss a real murder. This Friday it's Roe's turn to present the case of Wallace. She spent hours preparing and arrives early to the community center to make sure everything is ready. She can't find the woman who unlocked the building and set up. When she does find her, she wishes she hadn't. She'd been murdered in a similar way to Wallace's case.

Soon it is apparent that someone is taking things too far. Others begin dying in ways similar to murders of past. Who is doing it and why? Can Roe help ferret out the killer without becoming the next victim?

I have never read anything by this author. I loved Roe. I can't wait to read more! I thought the plot was well written and the characters were interesting. I had trouble ... Read More

- Aurora Teagarden -- book one
This is the first book of the Aurora Teagarden series. Aurora, known as Roe to her friends, is a 28 year old librarian in the small Georgia town in which she was raised. She belongs to a group called "Real Murders" that meets monthly to discuss famous murders. Things get too real, though, when one of the members is found murdered at the monthly meeting. Hence begins a series of murders in their small town, with the victims and the settings staged to replicate a famous murder.

The members and the police know if is probably a member of the group, but which one? This is a great introduction to the series and the folks of Roe's town. I just read this one, after reading all of the rest. Unlike a lot of series, the Roe's friends and townspeople recur in the other books.

This is an amusing, southern cozy and I recommend it for a relaxing read.

- Librarians notice everything...
Aurora "Roe" Teagarden works as a librarian in her hometown of Lawrenceton, Georgia. She is also the building manager for the townhouse community she lives in that her mother owns. But, Roe has a passion -- it's crime. So, she's a member of Real Murder, a group that meets monthly to discuss a real murder and whether they believe the murderer was indeed caught or who the murderer could be. It's all interesting and harmless intellectual fun until someone starts to murder the members of Real Murders and setting up the scenes to match historical cases. Now it's a case of finding the murderer before he or she kills again.

Originally published in 1990, the Aurora Teagarden Mysteries are being re-released. I, for one, am very glad to see these books again. Unlike many people who read mysteries and can remember tiny details years later, I'm lucky if I remember that I read the book, which explains why I end up ... Read More

- There are 4 kinds of Homicide: felonious, excusable, justifiable, and praiseworthy. - Ambrose Bierce
Aurora 'Roe' Teagarden leads a relatively normal and quiet life. She is her home town librarian and she manages the townhouses that she resides in and her mother owns. She doesn't date a lot and she knows everyone in her town.

The one thing that sets Roe apart from a lot of people in her town and the one thing she looks forward to is her monthly get together at the VFW hall. Roe is a member of a small group called Real Murders. She and a few others get together to discuss real murder cases, each one taking a turn to present a case. Sometimes the cases have been solved, sometimes they haven't. Whoever's turn it is that month studies up on their particular case and presents a lecture of sorts. The lecture then opens up to an open discussion.

The current murder case is Roe's to present and when she arrives at the hall she discovers a gory murder. When more murders happen, it is apparent ... Read More
