Product Description:
Love at very first sight turns into newlywed bliss for former librarian Aurora Teagarden— until violence cuts the honeymoon short.
Wealthy businessman Martin Bartell gives Roe exactly what she wants for their wedding: Julius House. But both the house and Martin come with murky pasts. And when Roe is attacked by an ax-wielding maniac, she realizes that the secrets inside her four walls—and her brand-new marriage—could destroy her.

After reading multiple series by Charlaine Harris, with lots of great characters, I found this book and the Aurora Teagarden series fun and different. I recommend it to anyone who enjoys a tale spun with fun, and not TOO long to enjoy quickly.

The very first few pages of this book bored me a bit, but boy am I glad that I stayed with it. This is the best Teagarden book so far. It is complex and takes surprising twists and turns not seen in this series before. Charlayne Harris is a terrific writer. All of series are great. I can't imagine that this book will disappoint. If the very first few pages do, stick it out.

The story starts out happy and with the expected mystery. But, the author throws in a bit of a second mystery that makes the story much more interesting. This second mystery shows us that not every one is completely good or completely bad, that there are several states of in between. As the story unfolds we learn how Roe learns this for herself and how she copes with where her heart leads her.
I look forward to reading the subsequent book in the series and hope that the author will continue with the second mystery in the subsequent novel.

The Julius House, newly reprinted by Berkely Prime Crime, is the fourth in the Aurora Teagarden series by Charlaine Harris. Just over six years ago, the Julius family disappeared, taking none of their belongings. The mystery was never solved, and for amateur sleuth "Roe" it becomes the perfect wedding present from her handsome, wealthy fiancé, Martin.
Roe is finally going to be the bride and not a bridesmaid. To top that, now she has a new home to decorate, a wedding to plan and a mystery to solve, all of which makes her happier than she has ever been in her life. She is surprised when her fiancé, Martin, informs her that two of his friends are moving into the apartment over the garage of their new home. She does her best to welcome the odd pair while putting aside her worries that maybe she doesn't know her husband-to-be as well as she thought. But she is in love and looking forward to taking up their life together in the remodeled home when they return from the perfect honeymoon in England.
But life isn't a fairy tale with all happy endings, as Roe soon discovers. Her new husband's recently revealed and unsavory past, an axe wielding madman, her friends' concerns about her living in the mystery house and the so-called "friends" over the garage who turn out to be her bodyguards--all this soon has her thinking that maybe some secrets are better left to remain buried. The depth of characterizations and twists of the plot will keep you guessing to the shocking, unexpected end.

In Lawrenceton, Georgia wealthy businessman Martin Bartell, the manager of the Pan Am Agra Plant, fell in love with Aurora "Roe" Teagarden from the moment they very first met. Older and more sophisticated than her, they set a wedding date within weeks of their very first meeting. As a wedding present Martin gives his fiancée the deed to the Julius House.
The house has a mysterious history because one night six years ago the family vanished without a reason or a trace; leaving everything behind. When Roe finds something illegal that her new spouse is involved in, she tries to ignore her qualms by investigating what happened to the Julius family. Her inquiries almost kill her; and it is only thanks to her tenant Angel that she survived the harrowing situation. When she finds the bodies of the family members, a new mystery surfaces that takes Roe and Angel into danger in New Orleans where people want them dead.
Charlaine Harris is one of the best writers of regional cozies. Her amateur sleuth tales are filled with colorful characters, blue herrings, plenty of suspects, and clues that ask more questions than they answer. The protagonist is a classical southern steel magnolia; beautiful to look at with a strong metallic spine as she is not afraid to face danger and confront horrors even involving the man she loves.
