This was the final Aurora Teagarden mystery that I read, and it was for the same reason that I stopped reading the Harper Connelly mysteries. The first few of this series were entertaining enough, but eventually I couldn't get past the fact that Roe was just a plain, boring person who found herself in ridiculous situations. She's a very one dimensional character with few redeeming qualities except that she's graceful when confronted by the absurdity of her name. A joke that gets old quickly.Though I don't know who came first, Sookie, Roe or Harper. But it feels as if Harris created Sookie, and thought to herself, "Well this is going well, let's see what else I can do!" and created the other two, who paled in comparison.
