helenephoebe 's review for:

Real Murders by Charlaine Harris
3.0

Review - I loved Aurora, although didn't like her mother or Robin, though I don't know why. Some of the characters were pretty 2D like Melanie and Bankston, a bit unfair as they were the culprits. The differing police detectives were intriguing as well. Again I think that Charlaine Harris attempts to write a mystery and a romance, and it doesn't work. I do wish the novel had also spent a chapter on what happened after the killers were caught, actually focusing on the people directly affected and the victims.
