Fun, quick and tantalizing.
This was exactly what I would expect and was hoping for from Harris. I love the feminine lead who is not your typical damsel in distress, or overly strong and trained assassin type. It was a super fun read that I finished in roughly 24 hrs. It certainly makes me want to read the rest of the Aurora Teagarden stories!
Absolutely ideal beach reach or escape read. It is turn twisting murder mystery that had me thinking I knew the killer all the way until the end.
Great read!

I enjoyed this book so much more than the Sookie Stackhouse series, primarily because I like reading stories about humans solving mysteries. Aurora Teagarden is a librarian in Lawrenceton, Georgia. She is a member of a club real murders where members get together and discuss true murders that happened in the past. But suspicions fall upon the members when a string of murders starts happening emulating some of the old murders that took place in the past. And our librarian protagonist is under suspicion as well.
Well written, very flowing style. The character of Roe Teagarden is well developed. I would rate this 3.5. And would definitely read more in the series.

I thoroughly enjoy Harris's Sookie Stackhouse books and picked this up for a light summer mystery. I didn't realize that this was first published twenty years ago, apparently before Harris learned to write. Real Murders was poorly written, with shallow characters, way too much passive voice, and plenty of telling instead of showing, as my middle school English teacher would say. I'm actually surprised that this was ever published.

Charlaine Harris doesn't write literary gold. Don't go into this book expecting anything more than superficial characters who get into the most slap stick of situations seemingly from nowhere. They are a fun, light, lower grade level read.
