Although Charlaine Harris is now best-known for her Sookie Stackhouse fantasy novels that were made into the TV series True Blood, I first encountered her work when I read her Aurora Teagarden series of murder mysteries. In this book, Aurora has quit her job as a librarian after inheriting some money from a friend. She is considering joining her mother's very successful real estate business, but when she begins to show a very sexy man around the Anderton mansion, they discover the luridly displayed corpse of another real estate agent known for her sexual escapades. One of the things I like about these novels is how much Aurora finds out just by taking the obligatory casserole to the bereaved and following other customs of small towns. I can recommend this book both for the mystery and also for Aurora's new love interest, Martin Bartell.
