In the second of the Aurora Teagarden series, Aurora finds herself very rich when one of her fellow Real Murders club members, the elderly spinster Jane Engle dies and leaves her her house and fortune. When Aurora goes to take possession of Miss Engle's home, she finds the place ransacked and holes dug all over the backyard. Poking around, she turns up a bashed-in human skull hidden in a cleverly disguised window seat. Fearing that Jane was actually a vicious killer, Aurora is relieved to find a note Jane left behind pointing her suspicions elsewhere.

I liked this story because again, it was short, fun and I love how the characters remain the same. I didn't like the gap though and how all of a sudden Robin has left, Arthur is getting married- I wanted to know more about their relationships with Aurora and what went wrong!!!!

I'm also starting to think it's a bit much that Lawrenceton is this small town with so many murders. Is the series going to run out of people to kill off?

That said, still loved it!!!
