Publisher's summary

Number one New York Times best seller Charlaine Harris returns to her Aurora Teagarden mystery series with a fabulous new book featuring the small-town Southern librarian.

In the latest installment of the number one New York Times best-selling Charlaine Harris's Aurora Teagarden series, Robin and Aurora have finally begun their adventure in parenting. With newborn Sophie proving to be quite a handful, Roe's mother pays for a partially trained nurse, Virginia Mitchell, to come help the new parents for a few weeks. Virginia proves to be especially helpful when Robin has to leave town for work and Roe is struck with a bad case of the flu.

One particularly stormy night, Roe wakes to hear her daughter crying and Virginia nowhere to be found. Roe's brother Philip helps her search the house, and they happen upon a body outside. But it isn't Virginia's. Now, not only does she have a newborn to care for and a vulnerable new marriage to nurture, but Roe also has to contend with a new puzzle - who is this mystery woman dead in their backyard, and what happened to Virginia?

This heart-pounding and exciting next installment of the Aurora Teagarden series will leave fans happy and hungry for more.

Interesting Plot

This book was an interesting mystery. If you’ve had a baby you will relate easily to the varied descriptions. It is a quick, easy read.

Enjoyable

A homey mystery, with enough turns and twists to keep you captivated. I was honestly a bit dissapointed with the end, but that could easily just be me. I finished within a few days despite how busy I have been because it hooked me quickly. And the narration was fantastic, brought the book to life.

Another wonderful Charlaine Harris novel!

I have read every one of Charlaine Harris' books and I love them all (but it's been several years since I binge read them all). I was thrilled to discover there was a new Aurora Teagarden book that I hadn't read. It was wonderful just as I expected. Plus it was great having Aurora & Robin together. I had just watched the new Aurora Teagarden Hallmark movie Last Scene Alive and was confused as to why Aurora wasn't with Robin (bad call Hallmark, the chemistry is already there between them, kill Martin off already! ) I think it's time to re-read the whole series.

Worse book yet

Ok I get she had a baby and that changed her well into a whiny pretentious Brat who is no longer her self but spoiled but done have to hear about the baby when breastfeeding every few pages? we get it. She had a kid and yes breastfeeding is hard and that would be reality based but do we have to hear about the baby constantly.
o have loved all of Me Harris books and the TV shows but this one disappointed me.

really good series

one of the better books in a really good series. a serious crime and serious, but real people characters. enough humor and surroundings that it never feels noir, just a mystery.

Way too much baby stuff in the story! I did not enjoy reading about everything that comes with a newborn.

Weak storyline

I didn’t like all that he references to breastfeeding. She was constantly nursing her baby and while in real life I am all for it I dont necessarily want to read about it in a mystery. It was more of a baby care book like I would write in a journal. Characters are cute but the story moves very slow.

Happy for a new book in the series.

I love this series! I was so happy to find that a new book was on the pre order list. If anything I think this is the best book in the series. Most of the time I have the "who" figured out before the reveal. Not this time!
My favorite parts of the book are finding out what is happening with the minor characters from the series and the little hint at the end about a possible new story in the future.
