Book Reviews of A Bone to Pick (Aurora Teagarden Mysteries, Book 2)
Book Review: JUST OK......
Summary: 3 Stars
Mediocre "mystery" involving that endearing librarian, Ro Teagarden, and of course several other interesting characters and events. When friend and club member Jane Engle dies leaving Aurora the primary benefactor of her estate, she leaves a house, a cat, some money....and quite a few secrets. When a break in at Jane's house makes it obvious that someone is searching for something, Ro does a search of her own....and finds something sinister and scary. While canoodling with handsome Epicopalian minister Aubrey, Ro tries to untangle the mystery behind what she finds hidden in Jane's house....and finds herself in a whole heap of trouble.
I find these books so ridiculously elementary that I'm almost embarrassed to be seen reading them. And throughout this tale, there are racial references that I find questionable. African-Americans are routinely pointed out as being "black".....while I guess the Caucasian characters are supposed to be a given....?? That whole little section regarding black realtors I found offensive, and makes me question this author's own racial perpectives......if necessary to point out ethnicities, savvy authors have ways of doing so without beating the reader over the head with it.
