There is more to Charlaine Harris than the Sookie Stackhouse True Blood vampire series. Although Ms. Harris is getting all the fame for that series, I prefer the Aurora Teagarden mystery series. I know its simple and fun, but there you have it. I just finished reading A Bone to Pick about a small town librarian who inherits a house and a lot of money. What fun! Only trouble there is a secret in the house and Miss Teagarden isn't about to involve the police with her name this time. How will she protect her name and the name of her benefactress with what she discovers hidden in the house? A fun read, and more in the series. Always nice to know if its a series that I like has more to continue with.
I also finished a book by Carline Graham of the Midsomer Murder series on BBC. I know she only wrote seven of the Tom Barnaby series and I have been wanting to read all of them, but maybe I have already and just forgot. I picked up Murder at Madingley Grange hoping it was a Chief Inspector Banaby mystery, but it proved to be something else entirely. Not bad, a comedy of errors in a grange house that is owned by the protagonist's aunt who has gone off on a cruise, leaving her niece and nephew Laurie and Simon Hannaford in charge. He thinks it's a great idea to invite strangers to the house for a mystery "Murder" weekend of fun and games. Laurie is shy and hesitant, but a good cook and she is persuaded to play the part of hostess. Its a fun farce and easy reading for a summer day.
