Real Murders
by Charlaine Harris
Rounded down from a 3.5.
This is the first of Charlaine Harris’ books that I have read. I actually quite liked the protagonist- Aurora Teagarden. She felt relatable to me, she is simple/ordinary. It helped make her character feel more real. I also loved that she was a librarian and found the scenes in the library most engrossing.
Real murders follows Aurora Teagarden and her fellow members of the real murders club. There is a killer amongst them, who is copying old infamous crimes.
I am a real crime buff, I just can’t get enough! Because of this, I absolutely loved that the killer replicated old murders, often ones I’ve studied in detail myself. I also liked that this book was nice and short. It was concise and didn’t feel like it was dragging.
That being said, I wasn’t overly fond of any of the characters other than Aurora. Her love interests in particular didn’t hugely grip me. There were times when I couldn’t understand why she was interested in them. I’m hoping that maybe the next book in the series will help sway me on this.
Overall, I really enjoyed the plot for this book, and I didn’t see the ending coming. But, I wasn’t 100% sold on the romance parts.
