Aurora Teagarden Book Series
Author: Charlaine Harris | Audiobook Narrator: Therese Plummer | Publisher: W. F. Howes Ltd.
Book series intro: Aurora Teagarden, small town librarian and true crime buff, is looking forward to the monthly meeting of the Real Murders Society, a group of fellow crime enthusiasts who share a unique interest in historical murders. The Society meetings are the highlight of Roe’s social life in sleepy Lawrenceville, Georgia, and she’s ready for a quiet night of discussion, coffee, and cookies. But after she finds the body of a Society member in a staged crime scene eerily similar to the one the group was supposed to discuss that very night, Roe finds herself at the center of a murderous story of her own…
1. Real Murders (1990)
Plot: Lawrenceton, Georgia, may be a growing suburb of Atlanta, but it’s still a small town at heart. Librarian Aurora ‘Roe’ Teagarden grew up there and knows more than enough about her fellow townsfolk, including which ones share her interest in the darker side of human nature…
With those fellow crime buffs, Roe belongs to a club called Real Murders, which meets once a month to analyze famous cases. It’s a harmless pastime – until the night she finds a member dead, killed in a manner that eerily resembles the crime the club was about to discuss… [Source: Amazon]

2. A Bone to Pick (1992)
Plot: Going to two weddings – one of a former lover – and a funeral for a member of her disbanded crime study club keeps Aurora “Roe” Teagarden quite busy for a few months.

3. Three Bedrooms, One Corpse (1994)
Plot: Aurora ‘Roe’ Teagarden had always worked for a living, until an unexpected legacy gave her the money to quit her librarian job. Now, with time on her hands, she decides to try selling real estate. Her mother, after all, is Lawrenceton’s premier real estate agent, giving her a head start on this new career!
But at her first house showing, Roe discovers the naked corpse of a rival broker in the master bedroom. When one of her mother’s colleagues falls under suspicion, Roe is determined to clear his name. And when a second body is found in another house for sale, it becomes obvious that there is a very cool killer at large in Lawrenceton, one who knows a great deal about real estate-and maybe too much about Roe… [Source: Amazon]

4. The Julius House (1994)
Plot: Roe has never been happier than she’s been since she met her fiancé, wealthy businessman Martin Bartell. Despite their differences in age and background, he seems to know exactly what she wants – like the Julius House.
Roe has always been intrigued by its history: six years previously, the family who lived there disappeared, never to be seen again… [Source: Amazon]

5. Dead Over Heels (1996)
Plot: Roe never liked Detective Sergeant Jack Burns, but she never wanted to see him dead – especially dropped from a plane right into her own front yard.
Luckily, even Lawrenceton, Georgia’s finest, know that Roe couldn’t possibly be in two places at once, so her name is crossed off the suspect list. [Source: Amazon]

6. A Fool and His Honey (1999)
Plot: Roe’s life finally seems to have settled into a comfortable pattern. Her marriage to Martin is going well, she’s back at work at the Lawrenceton library – and best if all, she hasn’t found a dead body in quite a while.
But then one afternoon her handyman goes crazy in her front yard. Roe suspects this is a sign of more bad things to come. And she is right. [Source: Amazon]

7. Last Scene Alive (2002)
Plot: It’s been more than a year since her husband Martin’s death, and Roe Teagarden is still in mourning. All she wants is to be left alone to grieve – but that becomes impossible when a movie company arrives in Lawrenceton.
They’ve come to make a film based on a book written by her onetime boyfriend Robin Crusoe, a book that detailed their shared investigation of a series of murders that occurred years before. [Source: Amazon]

8. Poppy Done to Death (2003)
Plot: Not just any woman in Lawrenceton, Georgia, gets to be a member of the Uppity Women Book Club. But Roe’s stepsister-in-law Poppy has climbed her way up the waiting list of the group – only to die on the day she’s supposed to be inducted. What makes Poppy’s murder even worse are the rumors of infidelity on both sides of the marriage swirling around town.
To find the killer, Roe must determine if the sordid stories are true. Suspects abound, and the things she uncovers make her question her own heart, but her passion for the truth drives her on: into the path of the cold-blooded killer… [Source: Amazon]

What’s even more worrisome is the dead body found at their last known location. [Source: Amazon]

10. Sleep Like a Baby (2017)

One particularly stormy night, Roe wakes to hear her daughter crying and Virginia nowhere to be found. Searching for her reveals a body outside . . . but it isn’t Virginia’s. Now, not only does Roe have a baby to care for but a new puzzle to contend with – who is this mystery woman dead in their backyard, and what happened to Virginia? [Source: Amazon]
