PLOT: Aurora Teagarden's life finally seems to have settled into a comfortable pattern. Her marriage to Martin is going well, she's back at work at the Lawrenceton library-and she hasn't found a dead body in quite a while. But then one afternoon her handyman goes crazy in her side yard. Roe suspects this is a sign of more bad things to come. An she is right.
Soon Martin's niece, Regina, shows up with a baby that no one knew she had. Then she disappears, leaving behind the child-and a murdered husband. To find her, Roe and Martin retrace her steps from sunny Georgia back to snowy Ohio, where they will uncover dark family secrets-at their own peril...
OPINION: My favorite so far. The ending broke my heart.
PLOT: The story of Michael Oher, a homeless and traumatized boy who became an All American football player and first round NFL draft pick with the help of a caring woman and her family. OPINION: I love Sandra Bullock!!
PLOT: Roe never liked Detective Sergeant Jack Burns, but she never wanted to see him dead-especially not dropped from a plane right into her own backyard. Luckily, even Lawrenceton, Georgia's finest know that Roe couldn't possibly be in two places at once, so her name is crossed off the suspect list.
But then other strange things happen around Roe, ranging from peculiar (her irascible cat turns up wearing a pink ribbon) to violent (her assistant at the library is attacked) to potentially deadly (her former lover is stabbed). Clearly there is a personal message in this madness that Roe must decipher-before it is too late... OPINION: I love these now. Roe stands up for what she believes in. She's a very strong & smart individual. I love her marriage to Martin. It's not perfect - but they make it work.
She loves playing soccer & golf with Aaron & Ed. I join in on the soccer sometimes and one mistake-Roxy has the ball. She will chase anything that runs. She's tries to keep the ball from us but telling her to "leave it" works & she drops it to only chase it again. Now, she's tired and takes a break.
PLOT: Roe has never been happier than she's been since she met her fiance, wealthy businessman Martin Bartell. Despite their differences in age and background, he seems to know exactly what she wants-like Julius House...
Being something of an amateur sleuth, Roe is thrilled when he giver her the house as a wedding present. For years she has been intrigued by its infamous history. Six years ago, the family who lived there disappeared, never to be seen again. As Roe throws herself into renovating Julius House, her misgivings about Martin's rather murky past recede.
But when Roe is attacked by as ax-wielding maniac, she realizes that the secrets inside her four walls-and her brand-new marriage-could destroy her...
OPINION: I love that she is married and I love who she is married to. He makes her so happy. She's found a new friend in Angel who is living with her husband in the garage apartment.

Now, with time on her hands, she decides to try selling real estate. Her mother, after all, is Lawrenceton's premier real estate agent, giving Roe a head start on this new career.
But at her first house showing, Roe discovers the naked corpse of a rival broker in the master bedroom. To make matters worse, one of her mother's colleagues has fallen under suspicion.
Roe, a natural-born sleuth, is determined to find out who is responsible. And when a second body is found in another house for sale, it becomes obvious that there is a very cool killer at large in Lawrenceton, one who knows a great deal about real estate-and maybe too much about Roe...
OPINION: Okay, so I have finally connected with the character. She is way more interesting in this book. I cannot wait to continue reading.

OPINION: I like this book. I think I need to read more and really connect with the character.
I'm team Edward all the way. I like him, and Bella. Jacob is a determained and a well liked character. The ending surprised me, I didn't see it coming. I loved it though. The story was sweet and had a happy ending. I'm excited to see the movies. : )
