Aurora Teagarden Mysteries Omnibus 2 is an engaging collection of the last four books in this murder mystery series. Aurora, or Roe as she is known, is still a librarian; however she is no longer shy about expressing who she is or what she wants. Shrewd and determined, Roe's interest in murder and mystery is still as strong as ever, as is her perchance for finding herself in awkward and perilous situations. Entertaining as ever, these crafty and intelligent murder mysteries are the perfect way to spend the day. ( )

Dead Over Heels
Aurora's bodyguard, Angel, is behaving strangely, and the dead and injured are piling up. Does Angel have a stalker?

Apparently if a dead body falls from a plane onto your lawn, etiquette obliges you to go to the funeral. It's as well to know these things.

A Fool and His Money
Martin's niece, Regina, arrives unexpectedly with a baby. When Aurora and Martin arrive back from a dinner party later that evening, they find Regina's husband dead on the stairs and Regina disappeared, leaving the baby behind.

A much darker installment in this series.

Last Scene Alive
Aurora is starting to recover from the death of her husband when, to her dismay, a film crew comes to Lawrenceton to make a mini-series based on her first adventure. The actress playing her character is found murdered.

A bit sexier than earlier installments. Not really raunchy, just the fade to black comes a bit later in the proceedings.

Poppy Done To Death
Aurora and her stepsister-in-law go to find out why her other stepsister-in-law didn't turn up to an important lunch meeting only to find her murdered body.

I'd read this one before as a stand alone and it made a lot more sense as one in a series, with lots of passages that resonated. A nice wrap up to the series. ( )

Charlaine Harris is a story teller par excellence. Whomever or what ever she writes about is engrossing and captivating. I am very sad to see this series end. The omnibus editions are the way to read these books because they are so much more comfortable that the mass markets. ( )
