Real Murders by Charlaine Harris
3.0

So......you know that saying that the book is always better than the movie? Well I actually disagree in this case. Granted, it could be because the Aurora Teagarden mysteries are my favorite on Hallmark's Movies and Mysteries channel. Could be because I have watched ALL of them so in my head I am comparing the character's representations to what I have watched. (I spent most of the book being like "I prefer Sally as Roe's best friend.....not some older lady.)

What is fun is that this is a librarian who is an amateur sleuth. I identify a lot with Roe being a fan of real murders and true crime. I have to have it in small dozes but it is a favorite thing for me. But in all honesty, when I want in the world of Aurora Teagarden and Lawrenceville....I will be sticking to the movies.
