I like this, don't get me wrong, it was what I consider a good beach read, but I didn't like it as much as some of the other Aurora Teagarden mysteries by this author. I do seek out the Teagarden series, but I prefer 2 other series by the same author, the Lily Bard Shakespeare series (starts with Shakespeare's Landlord or Shakespeare's champion, I can't remember) - its really well drawn psychologically. I also like the southern vampire series, starting with Dead Until Dark. I like that one a lot because of the nifty supernatural stuff and I like 'em enough to re-read them from time to time - but actually, I feel that the Lily Bard mysteries have more depth. Either way you go - Charlaine Harris, unlike so many authors, is never a dissapointment to me. Even when she's not at her best, she's soooo much better than many others.
