About this ebook

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.

Ratings and reviews

It was ok. Not what I expected, but I hope to see the TV movie from Hallmark. I enjoyed the first movie, but haven't read the corresponding book. This particular book didn't seem to have much "solving" on Roe's part like I had expected. Still a good series and I hope to read the others.

I love the vampire books, and I like the connelly. I don't know about the Shakespeare series am going to try it. But this just wasn't up to par

found a new series to get interested into. I enjoy charlaine harris's writing style...including her other books.
