This was a fun little book. A group interested in true crime start a club called the Real Murders in small-town Georgia. Things turn sinister when someone is taking pages out of their case studies and murdering people fashioned after other cases. The main character, Aurora Teagarden, finds herself in the thick of things as she stumbles upon bodies and evidence, sometimes merely being at the wrong place at the wrong time.

I admit the culprit wasn't obvious to me, so Harris did a good job "fooling" me until the reveal occurred. I liked Aurora Teagarden - not as well, admittedly, as Harper Connelly or Sookie Stackhouse, but I'll read more to see how this librarian grows.

Was very disappointed in this book. I've never left a book unfinished before, but I stopped reading this one, skipping to the last page to ensure it had the ending I wanted. I don't mind erotica or endless sex scenes, but the sex scenes just didn't do anything for me. They didn't really move what (limited) plot there was along and some were drawn out for much longer than necessary.

I was hoping for an erotic tale, a different spin if you will, on the Christine & Erik relationship. It isn't really what I got.
