A Bone To Pick (Aurora Teagarden Mysteries, Book 2)

This book is fun and interesting as is most of Charlaine Harris' work. If you are into the Sookie Stackhouse series and love mystery, the Aurora Teagarden series is for you. Follow the brave Aurora as she happens to stumble across a skeleton after inheriting a house. Who is the skeleton of? Where is the rest of the body? Scrappy Georgian Aurora will get to the bottom of the mystery! Good times! I love Charlaine Harris! I have been a fan before her stuff hit the big screen. Check it out! Good fun!

A Must Read

If you liked Real Murders, you will like this! It is different than Real Murders, and that appealed to me. I can't say anymore, you've got to read it.

Who does the skull belong to?

Aurora "Roe" Teagarden has to go to two weddings and a funeral in the span of a few months. One wedding is of a former lover's, and the other is her mother's. The funeral is for Jane Engle, a member of the disbanded crime discussion group. Roe is surprised to learn that Jane has left her money, jewelry, and her house. It's a substantial estate. When Roe uncovers a skull hidden in a window seat, she knows Jane purposely left her everything so she would solve the murder. As she gets to know her new neighbors, she discovers there are a few people who went missing and wonders if one of them belongs to the skull. Along with that, she begins to wonder who murdered the victim. Add to that a new boyfriend and getting used to the wealth, a house, and pets, Roe is kept quite busy while trying to discover the identity of the victim and killer. Can she do so without putting herself in any danger? I love this series. Roe is such a fun character. I found myself not wanting to put the book down 'til it was done. I like the small-town setting and the various neighbors in this book. The plot was well written and had plenty of red herrings and twists to keep me wondering right up to the end. I highly recommend this book.

Quick Read

I read this book in one sitting and found it quite enjoyable. The mystery was not that big of a mystery. What intrigued me was the story. The main character inherits a house and more than enough money to live happily in the house, but she soon finds out that having a house and some money does not guarantee happiness. Instead it means she has traded in small old worries for new ones. How she deals with what life has brought her is what kept me reading this book until it was done.
