In book three of the series, Aurora Teagarden (Roe) has quit her job as librarian and is living on the inheritance left to her by Jane, in book 2. She's still dating Pastor Aubrey, and she's looking for a new occupation. Roe decides to try working for her mom, Lauren Bacall look-a-like, Aida Brattle Teagarden Queensland, who happens to own one of the major real estate firms in town. Signing on as an apprentice, Roe agrees to show an expensive house to some out-of-town clients. The house has its charms, but the clients are not too thrilled with what's been left behind in the master bedroom: the corpse of real estate woman Tonia Lee Greenhouse.

Tonia's murder is only the first, and Roe quickly decides that real estate is not the occupation for her as it becomes clear that the killer is someone familiar with the real estate community who has access to the houses that are on the market. But she definitely likes her well-to-do client, Martin Bartell and ends up leaving Aubrey for him.

I love this series, like the other two books, its quick and easy. Roe is loveable, charming and I can't help but wonder what she's going to come across next. I do have a few complaints- her love life skips around too much and whenever I start a new book in the series, I feel like so much has happened that wasn't discussed. I'm also feeling like- OK, really? This many murders in such a small town? But I'm going to set that aside and go on to the next book, lol. I am definitely excited about reading her other series now! And why can't Roe keep a man???
