But when other strange things happen around her, ranging from peculiar (her cat mysteriously gains a pink ribbon) to violent (her assistant at the library is attacked) to deadly (her former lover is stabbed), she must decipher the message in the madness before it's too late.

Story
Welcome to Midnight, Texas, a town with many boarded-up windows and few full-time inhabitants, located at the crossing of Witch Light Road and Davy Road. It's a pretty standard dried-up western town. There's a pawnshop (someone lives in the basement and is seen only at night). There's a diner (people who are just passing through tend not to linger). And there's new resident Manfred Bernardo, who thinks he's found the perfect place to work in private (and who has secrets of his own). Stop at the one traffic light in town, and everything looks normal. Stay awhile, and learn the truth....

Sookie Stackhouse is a small-time cocktail waitress in small-town Louisiana. She's quiet, keeps to herself, and doesn't get out much - not because she's not pretty - she's a very cute bubbly blonde - or not interested in a social life. She really is . . . but Sookie's got a bit of a disability. She can read minds.

Publisher's Summary
Librarian Aurora Teagarden reckons she knows everything about her fellow townsfolk, including which ones share her interest in the darker side of human nature, as she and her friends have formed a club to discuss real life killings. But fiction soon becomes fact as more and more bodies are discovered, and the similarities between prior murders and those of Aurora's fellow townsfolk become frighteningly common.

Early novel by Ms Harris is decent
The story concept sounded great but for me, it fell short of it's potential. I found the characters rather bland and although the outline of a love triangle was sketched, the two gentlemen were painted in a way that made them rather boring and there was little chemistry between them and aurora.
Charlaine Harris has worked on this in her subsequent novels and the story was engaging enough for me to finish it and wonder if things pick up in later in this series.

Cheesy but a real good listen.
Pure cheese but right up my street for a light hearted crime listen. I love the small town murder genre. Almost like a more modern Murder, She wrote. Highly enjoyable.

Excellent murder mystery
If you could sum up Real Murders in three words, what would they be?
A murder mystery written with plenty of humour. The characters were easy to relate to and brought to life by Therese Plummer.
What other book might you compare Real Murders to, and why?
I really enjoyed meeting the main character Aurora Teagarden, and look forwards to the rest of this charming series.
What does Therese Plummer bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
The author creates a charming heroine, in Aurora Teagarden. Written with a gentle sense of humour, this is a murder mystery which will keep you guessing right to the end.
If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
Therese Plummer's performance is faultless. She brings all the characters to life, and makes the book a real pleasure to listen to.

Bland
The narrator was good. I have very much enjoyed other Charlaine Harris books. The 'Midnight Texas' series was very good! I liked maany aspects of the three books and will listen to them again. I was hoping to find another enjoyable series with 'Real Murders'. But it is not for me. I might have persevered on to the next book in the hope that it improves. Going by the reviews, I don't think this will happen. I'm cutting my losses and won't pursue this series any further. However, I will keep a lookout for other Charlaine Harris books that are more to my taste. Fingers crossed.
