Charlaine Harris writes several mystery series. The Sookie Stackhouse
novels are best known, but all the series feature believable female
protagonists, often living in vividly portrayed small Southern towns.
These Mysteries range from cozy to paranormal, but none is truly
dark or disturbing, so readers may enjoy all the series equally.
The early Aurora Teagarden mysteries are the most cozy….


Aurora Teagarden Mysteries:
  • Real murders (Jan 1990) #1
  • A bone to pick (Jan 1992) #2
  • Three bedrooms, one corpse  (Jan 1994) #3
  • The Julius house (Jan 1995) #4
  • Dead over heels (Jan 1996) #5
  • A fool and his honey (Jan 1999) #6
  • Last scene alive (Aug 2002) #7
  • Poppy done to death (Jul 2003) #8
  • All the little liars (Oct 2016) #9
    • The narrative of Aurora Teagarden was thought to be over.
    • In a surprising, but welcome return, All the Little Liars
    • picks up right where we left off with Roe...
