Real Murders
by Charlaine Harris
The first book in the Aurora Teagarden mysteries, the book starts off fairly well. I like Aurora as a character, and I enjoy Charlaine Harris's matter-of-fact writing style. However, I started to see strong similarities between this book and Harris's Sookie Stackhouse books. In both series, the main character lines up multiple love interests (who of course, all think she's wonderful) and then ends up somewhat involved with both/all of them. Aurora never tells the two men in this book that she is seeing the other one; it's not that big an issue since she's only had a half-date with one, and a postponed date with the other, but she's kissed both of them and if it's anything like the Sookie Stackhouse books, Aurora won't feel the need to pin herself down to one or the other anytime soon.
Really, this is all fine. Women are certainly free to date multiple guys at once if they want; I just wish the girls in these series would be a bit more up front about it with the guys involved.
Of course, maybe that only annoys me.
Anyway, the mystery itself was interesting and the end surprised me. I might pick up another in this series in the future, but it won't be at the top of my to-read pile.
