Real Murders By Charlaine Harris


Rating: 4/5


Review: I thought this book had a very old fashioned feel to it. It was set in modern day, but at times it felt like I was reading a story that was taking place in the 50's. The lead character is a fun person, but a little too drab at times. The storyline was fast most of the way through, but slowed to a crawl towards the end. The final revealing of the real killer was a bit anti-climatic. I don't want you thinking this was a terrible story, though. I liked the characters well enough, and I'd love to see how things develop between Roe and her beaus. I will most likely read the next book in the series.


Book Description: Though a small town at heart, Lawrenceton, Georgia, has its dark side-and crime buffs. One of whom is librarian Aurora "Roe" Teagarden, a member of the Real Murders Club, which meets once a month to analyze famous cases. It's a harmless pastime-until the night she finds a member killed in a manner that eerily resembles the crime the club was about to discuss. And as other brutal "copycat" killings follow, Roe will have to uncover the person behind the terrifying game, one that casts all the members of Real Murders, herself included, as prime suspects-or potential victims.
