I enjoy this series but it is beginning to lose depth and character development.

Even when I don’t really want to do anything, I can still enjoy an escape with anything Harris writes. Easy and fun read. Robin is still alive, que sera sera.

I love the series on Hallmark and yes, it's hokey as hell but for 2 hours it's a nice distraction. And yes, I'm team Martin all the way!
So, having watched the TV movies, I was like, ok, I'll read one of the books in the series, what's the worst that could happen? Well...first, I quickly switched off the TV movie out of my head and read this completely separate. In book format, Aurora Teagarden is annoying. The bland and unnecessary passages were rampant throughout the book. And how many times did we need to read about her breastfeeding her daughter. It felt like every other page she was either breastfeeding, thinking about breastfeeding, making jokes about breastfeeding, or talking about breastfeeding. How did she manage to find out who the killer was between all the breastfeeding????
The ending was rather anti-climatic and the killer was just oh-hum. I gave it two stars as it was a quick and easy read and there was a cozy murder for Aurora to solve. Think I'll stick to the movies.

In Sleep Like a Baby, the latest installment of the #1 New York Times Bestselling Charlaine Harris's Aurora Teagarden series, Robin and Aurora have finally begun their adventure in parenting. With newborn Sophie proving to be quite a handful, Roe's mother pays for a partially trained nurse, Virginia Mitchell, to come help the new parents for a few weeks.
I love this series. Have re-read it many times! <3
