Product Description:
Third in the Aurora Teagarden series, one great new look.
Deciding if she wants to go into real estate becomes a life-or-death choice for Aurora 'Roe' Teagarden. A naked corpse is discovered at her very first house showing. And when a second body is found in another house for sale, it becomes obvious that there is a very cool killer at large in Lawrenceton, one who knows a great deal about real estate-and maybe too much about Roe.

This the the third Aurora Teagarden mystery by Charlaine Harris I've read. After inheiriting big bucks from a deceased acquaintance, Roe quits her job at the library and joins her mother's realty company at least for a little while, to see if it's something she enjoys. Unfortunately in one of the houses she shows, the corpse of another realtor is found bound to a bed. Who is the murderer? Shortly thereafter another body of yet another realtor is found. Per usual, Roe has a hard time keeping her nose out of it. Add in a new, older businessman (new in town) as a love at very first sight romantic interest and Roe certainly has her hands full. The last 1/4 of the book is the most interesting. There was several little suprises that grabbed my interest more than anything up to that point. I didn't think I cared for her new man Martin, until this point and I still am not crazy about him. Maybe he will grow on me. This brings me to a pet peeve I have about this series. In the very first book "Real Murders" I thought it extrememely cute when Aurora noticed that she had never had a man interested in her and suddenly she had two. By book two gone were the previous two suitors and suddenly she had a new preacher boyfriend. Now in book 3 she has yet another man. So for the majority of her life she never had a man find her attractive and suddenly in the span of three books she has attracted a minimum of four men? What kind of love potion is the chick taking? Rather unbelievable, I say. Another problem I have and the reason for the three star rating is because I just don't care about these characters. Aurora is boring and bland, so is her mother, so are all the other realtors, so are her men, so are the victims, and even the suspects. No one ever has had a real motive for the killings up through this book. The whole town is darn bland. It pains me to say that because Charlaine Harris is up in my favorite top two or three authors. She has changed the entire type of books I read and collect due to her Sookie series. I love Charlaine and I love mysteries. Why can't I love these books? It makes little sense to me but its true. I don't mind this book, it killed some time, but the whole time I thought about my TBR stack and couldn't wait to read something else in it. "Three Bedrooms, One Corpse" is not a winner but is not really a loser either. Its just Bland.

This is the third book in the Aurora Teagarden series. Aurora, known as Roe to her friends, is happy and thriving in the small town outside of Atlanta where she has lived all of her life except for college. Independently "comfortable" since an inheritance from a friend, Roe is trying out real estate as a possible new career. Unfortunately, while showing a house to a client, she finds a body in the bed of the master bedroom.
All the small town chatter could be trite in lesser hands, but in Harris's writing, it reminded me of Agatha Christie's Miss Marple and her belief that anything is possible in a small town. In many series, the secondary characters appear only to disappear and never recur. In this series, you find yourself getting to know the locals and their foibles.
I enjoy this series and look forward to more in the series. Charlaine Harris is a talented writer with multiple series. While I find her vampire series not to my taste, I thoroughly enjoy her other books.

I was a little disappointed in this Aurora Teagarden mystery. Little time was spent on the actual mystery because most of the story centered on Aurora's love life. It was nice to see the main character "fleshed out" a bit more, but not at the expense of time spent on the mystery.
I look forward to reading the subsequent book in the series and hope it will be on par with the very first two.

If you haven't picked up the Aurora Teagarden series - you should! These books are great - entertaining and smart, and they flow very easily from one to the next, leaving you wanting more.
If you like these, you will love the Harper Connelly series, Sooke Stackhouse series, and I have recently started the Lily Bard (Shakespeare) series. I can't believe I just "found" Charlaine Harris last year! :)

This is my second mystery by this author in this series and I liked it as well as the first. Harris does a great job of making you feel like you're right there in this small town in Georgia (I think Lawrenceton was modeled after Covington). Detective-character Roe Teagarden, formerly a librarian, is now a lady of leisure, since she unexpectedly inherited quite a bit of money. She's looking around trying to find herself, and is trying out being a real estate agent in her mother's firm. Just as she's deciding this is really not for her, she discovers a body in a house that she's showing. When another body is found in an empty house, people begin to wonder if someone is going around killing real estate agents.
The plotting was good and I was a bit surprised at the killer. But mostly I enjoyed the cozy atmosphere of this small town and interesting inhabitants.
