A Bone to Pick by Charlaine Harris

[snugglekitty]

This is the second book in the Aurora Teagarden series, one of Harris' non-supernatural works. I had previously read and enjoyed both Real Murders and Poppy Done to Death, and I plan to read the whole series.

Roe Teagarden is saddened when her friend Jane Engle dies - then baffled when she learns she is the beneficiary of Jane's surprisingly large estate. Bafflement turns to shock when she discovers a human skull hidden under a window seat in the house. Jane has left her a hefty bequest - and a mystery to solve. Will Roe's newfound wealth be worth the cost?

Good book. Very good book. This series is solid, and I still can't predict whodunnit. I am still enjoying watching Roe's relationships evolve, especially since I know where they're going come book nine. Three stars. I recommend this series for all mystery fans.

hey, apropos of charlaine harris: hbo is making the sookie stackhouse books into a tv series, and the first episode is now out. the intarwebs showed it to moominmolly and me last night. not bad! starring anna paquin, in yet another role where her character's supernatural powers interfere with her having a normal love life...

Thanks for mentioning this. I have now seen the premiere, and thought it was sexy and interesting.
