Book 11 of 20: Real Murders by Charlaine Harris

Real Murders by Charlaine Harris

I like her True Blood books, and her Harper C. books, so when I saw the first 3 books of this series in the Works I had to pick them up. Bonus: They were 3 for £5.

It's a fun little murder mystery story, little being the word, I don't think it has more than 200 pages, and I read it in under a day when my poor laptop decided to die, hence there being a delay in posting the books I've read, and why Book's 10, 11 and 12 will be posted very closely together.

I was entertained pretty well despite the foul mood I was in.

Though I hadn't realised when reading, that despite the pretty new covers, these must be a reprint, as I wondered why a character who was working in a library was recording books by hand and made no mention of using a computer. It wasn't until I checked that the copyright was 1992 and I realised that this story is almost as old as I am.

As ever, Harris's female lead is pretty similar to Harper and Sookie, by being pretty but with a flaw, surprised that they attract many male suitors at one time, seems to be a trouble magnet and is fuelled by coffee.
