Although this is the second Aurora Teagarden Mystery I have checked out from my library, it appears to be the first in the series. Aurora has a friend, Jane, from her Real Murders club who is a retired librarian and she invites Ro to her home a few days after a meeting to give her some of her sleuthing books as she feels Ro will find them interesting.
Ro and her best friend have noticed that Jane doesn't particularly seem well lately so it doesn't come as too much of a shock when Jane dies. What does come as a surprise to Ro, though, is Jane's lawyer cornering her after the funeral to inform her that she has inherited Jane's estate and her home. Since Jane's mother had left her some money, it means Ro will no longer have to struggle to make ends meet on her librarian's salary and she'll have a home she owns.
There have been some unusual burglaries occurring in the neighborhood where Jane lives and her house is broken into the night that Ro finds she is the new owner. Since the attorney saw fit to give her a key, she decides to go over to her new home that evening and interrupts a burglary in process. She notices only large doors and drawers have been opened so she begins to search for what the burglar was looking for and discovers Jane has a skull hidden in her home.
It was at this point my husband could no longer watch the show -- when Ro decides to try to solve the murder herself rather than involving the police -- a stupid, stupid move that, of course, put her in danger. I had to finish watching the movie and she does indeed solve the case -- after a few mishaps and almost ending up paying with her life for it. I enjoyed this mystery but not as much as the first one we watched. pazt
