Three Bedrooms, One Corpse by Charlaine Harris
2.0
I honestly don't know if the earlier Aurora Teagarden mysteries were as bad as this, because I listened to them on audio, and I read a physical copy of this one. Still, I suspect I would have a lot of the same complaints.
There's a love interest introduced in this book who Aurora attaches onto rather quickly, and I never understood why. She talks to her mother and best-friend-from-afar about how much she likes him, but the conversations sounded more like Roe trying to talk herself into it than that she actually liked him. Her quick infatuation left me more confused than anything, and her rapid change from the Episcopal minister to the company man fifteen years her senior gave me whiplash. I even managed to miss that she'd officially broken up with Aubrey at all.
The mystery in this book was incidental to the rest of what was going on, and, unfortunately, what was going on was a lot of puttering. Without a job to keep her busy, Roe spends a lot of time mooning about, running errands, buying clothes, getting her hair done, and talking to people about inconsequential, everyday things. This book could've been trimmed down to a much more interesting short story.
If I can't get the next one on audio, forget it. This may have been a short, quick read, but it was also a waste of time.
