I used to read and greatly enjoy the Aurora Teagarden mystery series years ago when it was first written.  There were 8 books written from 1990 to 2003.  When True Blood, the Southern Vampire Series based TV show, became very popular Charlaine Harris turned her attention to that series. I remember reading interviews that stated that she would not be writing any more Aurora Teagarden mysteries.

Fast forward to today and there are two more Teagarden mysteries, probably spurred by the interest in the Hallmark Mystery Movies based on the series.  I was happy to see new books in the series and picked this one up.  Unfortunately I found this to be a disappointment after the earlier books. The character, Roe,  seems to have changed and the story pacing was uneven.  I feel like the charm from the earlier books is no longer evident.
