About the author
Charlaine Harris
191 books37.2k followersCharlaine Harris has been a published writer for over forty years. Her first two books were standalones, followed by a long sabbatical when she was having children. Then she began the Aurora Teagarden book, mysteries featuring a short librarian (eventually adapted for Hallmark movies). The darker Lily Bard books came next, about a house cleaner with a dark past and considerable fighting skills.
Tired of abiding by the mystery rules, Harris wrote a novel about a telepathic barmaid that took at least two years to sell. When the book was published, it turned into a best seller, and DEAD UNTIL DARK and the subsequent Sookie books were adapted in Alan Ball's "True Blood" series. At the same time, Harris began the Harper Connelly books. Harper can find the bones of the dead and see their last minute.
When those two series wound to a close, the next three books were about a mysterious town in Texas, called Midnight.
A change in publisher and editor led to Harris's novels about a female gunslinger in an alternate America, Lizbeth Rose. The Gunnie Rose books concluded with the sixth novel.
She's thinking about what to write next.

I loved these first three cozies starring Aurora Teagarden. The first of the series introduces the sleuth Roe and takes the reader on a fun, hectic ride of adventure. I believe these can be a future classic in cozies.

Whilst the Aurora Teagarden books are advertised as mysteries, I feel as though such is not the case.
These books focus more upon the soap opera that is the life of Aurora rather than the crimes that take place in the town. Oh, she certainly manages to get involved with any trouble that happens – but a large majority of the story is spent focusing upon what is going on in her life. I don’t mind knowing such details, but I’d rather those took the backseat rather than the crime aspects.
