Roe is thinking of joining her mother's Realtor business after she inherits a large sum of money and quits her library job. But finding another dead body in a house she's showing is starting to give her doubts.
Once again, Roe decides no one can solve the murder better than she can, and ends up in trouble.....again.
And she's finally found romance! For me, this was the weakest part of the book. Yes, love at first sight can happen, but when you've got your doubts, and your new squeeze is a tough guy and a possible suspect, shouldn't you reserve judgement for a teeny weeny little while? Not Roe! Let's just jump in and decide you love the guy after, what, a WEEK? Um, okay, if you're fifteen, not thirty.
Let's just say I thought Harris was starting to wonder what to do with Roe and this sets up the next few books. Can't wait to see if I'm right or not.
Definitely a good book, great plot, and interesting characters, though a little on the weak side. I'm interested to see where this storyline goes.

Former librarian Aurora Teagarden, basking in the inheritance which made her financially independent and allowed her to quit her job at the library, is now seeking a new occupation to keep her from going stir crazy with boredom. Perhaps she'll follow in her mother's footsteps and become a highly successful real estate agent.... Unfortunately, as Roe embarks on her apprenticeship showing houses, she instead seems to be turning up corpses instead: two dead real estate agents in only a week's time! Maybe it's not quite so bad as it could be though.... After all, she may not have met the enigmatically handsome Martin Bartell otherwise. :D
I thoroughly enjoyed this 3rd story in the Aurora Teagarden mysteries. As usual, Aurora finds herself in the middle of a murder investigation, she's actually been the one to find the bodies both times. And it seems like she may finally have a hot and stimulating love interest now too! ;)
The reading is quick paced and the mystery keeps you guessing right up until the very end, when as usual, Roe figures out who's behind it all before the police do. However, I found her actions in confronting the suspect herself pretty stupid on her part. One of these days, she's gonna get herself killed! Heh, maybe that's why Ms. Harris ended this series. Maybe Roe finally did one (brave yet) stupid thing too many in the final book (book 8) and ended the series. LOL

The Aurora Teagarden mysteries as a whole are easy reads, good basic mysteries with a captivating protagonist. I particularly liked this one for the number of suspects available.

This third book in the Aurora Teagarden crime series is even better than the previous two. It is easy to see the development of the author's technique in writing these fairly light crime, mystery novels. Aurora, the main character seems to be developing as a person, too. Although the police find it strange that she seems to be at every crime scene before them, the small town setting, and develpment of the quirky citizens who all know each other's business, make the wrap-up of each crime surprising. Easy light read. I am looking forward to the next in the series.
