Real Murders - Charlaine Harris
This is the first book in the Aurora Teagarden (yes, Harris does seem to have a penchant for ungainly names) series. It looks like it is one of her first books, wayy before the, ahem, vampire series. I loved it - I know some might not like it because their ain't no vamps in it, but it was a well-written, truly old-fashioned (again, in a good way), murder mystery.
Teagarden is a librarian in a small town - and something about the way it is set up and presented, it reminded me a lot of the British small town mysteries. This is a really likable, bookish, quiet heroine who also happens to be a huge fanatic of horrible murders - for me: what is not to like?
