avigail 's review for:

Real Murders by Charlaine Harris

4.0

---

This is a fun, short, easy mystery read. If you're looking for a cozy mystery, Aurora Teagarden will hit the spot. The book is light enough to make for a quick read, but suspenseful enough to keep you sucked in. Highly recommended for mystery fans. Don't expect any paranormal here, though, or you'll be disappointed - that's another series. The characters that fill these pages are what I have come to expect from Charlaine Harris. She takes your ordinary, average, every day people and adds a decent dose of charm and a healthy heaping of eccentricities. Roe may lead a rather staid lifestyle on the surface, but she is anything but boring. I found myself chuckling quite a few times at the things that go through her head. The mystery is exciting and kept me guessing... I was shocked at the end.
This is an amusing, southern cozy and I recommend it for a relaxing read.
