Aurora ‘Ro’ Teagarden is a local librarian and also head of
the local true crime club. With a passion for delving into mysteries and
learning about motive and means, Ro becomes friends with Jane Engles, another
member of the group who enjoys reading about women who get away with murder.
As
the pair get to know each other, Jane tells Ro she has a head for murder and
tells her that sometimes things are right under your nose.
When Jane passes away, Ro is shocked to learn that she was
Jane’s beneficiary and is now the proud owner of her own house as well as all
of her belongings. But when Ro discovers a skull in the window seat of her
newly inherited house, it seems Jane left her more than her estate, she also
left her a mystery to solve.
This cosy murder mystery was fun to watch and appealed to my
mystery solving nature. As a fan of mysteries, I really enjoyed watching this
and found myself trying to solve it along with Aurora, but as usual, got it
wrong.
With this being the first in two TV movies which have been
adapted from books written by Charlaine Harris, best known for writing the
Southern Vampire Mysteries which the True Blood TV series was based on, it
didn’t spoil it for me even though I’d watched the second one first.
I’m so tempted to carry on learning about Aurora and her
mystery solving that I’ve been looking into buying the books as none of the
others have yet been made into movies.
That’s the sign of a good movie!
