Every month, Real Murders, a society of crime buffs in Lawrenceton, Georgia, met to discuss a favorite infamous murder. Its members were an eccentric lot; Gifford Doakes, the massacre specialist; Jane Engle, lover of Victorian horrors; Perry Allison, a Ted Bundy fan...
The night of the last meeting, town librarian Aurora "Rose" Teagarden discovered Mamie Wright's mutilated body in the clubhouse kitchen. She felt certain the killer was a fellow member, for the crime bore a chilling resemblance to thte club's "murder" of the month.
And as other brutal "copycat" killings followed, the only motive seemed a horrifyingly bizarre sense of fun.....
