This cozy mystery series is really delightful! Aurora Teagarden is at it again caught in the middle. And sleuthing her way to find out what happened and who did it. And also why.
What is special about the series is the character Aurora really cares about the victims and wants to get to the bottom of it. But also at the same time she gets in the cross hairs and gets in danger. Which scares me. Lol but I really do enjoy the books and I also started to watch the movie series on Hallmark mystery Channel. Which is addicting in itself! If you want a cozy mystery this is it. All you need is a cup of tea and this series! Be warned! You will get glued!

I'm very happy with the way this one ended, actually! Cliche, but whatever. I almost cried at work today. I didn't want it to be the end, but I'm okay with it. Yay for Roe!

My emotions of this series are a rollercoaster. I go from “argh another one to read, will it ever end?” to “just read it and get it over with, it’s only a short book” to “I’m loving this book, like I always do, why am I surprised?”.
There’s not much else to say about book 8 that hasn’t been said about the previous books. I think Charlaine’s writing continues to get better and Auroras journey continues onto paths I don’t expect and continues to be weaved in with standard cozy mystery fare. These books really are my guilty little pleasure.

this was fun and entertaining ! the small town community drama and interpersonal conflict definitely eclipsed the mystery but i enjoyed reading it

I like the characters. They're kind of odd. Good story. Sorry to be getting close to the end of the series.

The mystery is the weakest of the lot, I knew who did it and why, very early - way too early!
I suppose that is because Harris was focusing on giving Aurora the happy ever after stuff…
It was enjoyable because it was familiar but I’m not sad it is meant to be the last in the series.
They were worth reading; Aurora is a likable character.

Aurora #8 ~ enjoyable as ever, in a completely light way, of course. No heavy lifting.

It wasn't a bad read, a decent plot a few twists but the protagaonist just reads all wrong for me. Supposedly 36 and until her age was revealed over halfway through the book I was figuring mid forties and would have said older except that made the sums re her brothers age awkward. Roe comes across as an inconsistent character and too "old" for her age. I couldn't relate to her much for that reason though we are the same age as i read it.
I haven't read any other in the series though (library only has this one) so perhaps that means i am missing something. I will read the others if I come across them but wont be seeking this series out.
