Real Murders

Charlaine Harris

I can't tell if I like this better than Lily, because Aurora is extremely different. But I do like it nonetheless. She's smart, short, loves books.. hmm.. what's not to like? And she's kind of a player, which is a little different. I think Harris has created a bunch of strong, independent women she can look up to. I wonder why none of them are attached when their stories start out. Is that too boring to read about? I guess. But I love series novels, so here it goes!

Good start to the series and always good do see a librarian and library. :)

This was a fairly decent book. I enjoyed the suspense and mystery and that the main character was close in age to me. I didn't care for the romance or the cheap attempt at distracting the reader by throwing in a confession. I will most likely start reading the next book in the series.

It stayed interesting and I didn’t guess the murderer. Not sure I would read more in this series. Roe is too similar to Sookie.

 This was a cute murder mystery that I found out about due to the Hallmark Series of the same name. While I enjoyed the book, I found it to be a bit wordy.

I love this book. I read it like every four months!
mysterious fast-paced

The premise was really fun for a cozy-not sure if I would read more in the series but this one was o.k.
