Aurora “Roe” Teagarden is 28 years old and single. She lives in Lawrence, Georgia, works as a librarian, and is a member of the Real Murders Club.

The Real Murders Club started about three years ago. A dozen or so people get together once a month to go over a famous murder case. They review the evidence and contemplate who did it and why, among other things. Or, sometimes they just watch a movie.

Tonight is Mamie Wright’s night to open the meeting spot and set up chairs. Roe gets to the meeting and sees that Mamie’s car is in the parking lot along with another car. The
Wallace murder case is supposed to be the topic tonight, with Roe as leading the talk about the murder case. When the phone rang, Roe answered. Roes starts to worry about Mamie because of the unusual call, and searches for her friend. Roe finds Mamie dead, rearranged on the floor so that her killing represented the Wallace murder case.

Roe calls a meeting of the club members to her house. She believes that someone in the Real Murders club is the murderer. Nobody likes the concept and members start to leave–which leads to this being the last meeting of the Real Murders.

Now Roe is trying to piece together the clues and help the police as much as possible. Can Roe and the detectives find the killer and answer the question why? Is it a member of the club or is a psychopath on the loose?

This book kept me on the edge of my seat waiting to see what was next.
