"Pleasant reading...heartily recommend[ed]." ( Pen & Dagger)

Terrific mystery

I loved the character Ro Teegarden! This mystery is perfect for readers who like suspense without horrifying details. I'll definitely continue listening to this series. I really enjoyed the narrator!

Average

For me this was an average story, not horrible but did not have me at the edge of my seat wanting more either. This is the second book in the series and I am having a hard time liking the main character which is surprising because I have LOVED all of Ms. Harris' other books and lead characters. Narration was well done.

Great book!

Another great book in the Arora Teagarden series by Charlaine Harris.Looking forward to reading the next book in the series.

An exciting mystery with characters you care about

Loved it. Wanted an exciting, page turner, that didn't darken my mood as I listened. This series fits the bill! Enough character and scenic descriptions to make you feel like you are moving through a real space, and enough suspense to keep the page turning. One it got to the climax, even my daughter was hanging on every word! Good job done by the narrator! Give the book a shot!

Gentle mystery

A pretty good story. I watched the movie first so I was expecting Aurora to solve the mystery. However, in the book it just kinda unfolds. I like that there is some mystery, and a little romance without anything graphic or inappropriate. I recommend if you are in the mood for a light story and few giggles

great trip to netherland

spoiler alert- Ienjoy Roe Teagarten books best of 4 genre of heroines (and i bought them ALL), and better than the Hallmark movies. The author's choice to cover up "self defense" and make the neighbor a "murderer" show a lack of empathy and a poor choice of ending. It is like she got tired of writing and said," here is easy ending! I would NOT want the author as a friend! It was a mistake at the end to destroy Jane's statement and keep Marsha from being labeled murderer!! Roe could smply have put a note saying , "I, Jane, changed my mind and threw the skull under the house before I went to hospital. That would have been better for Marsha!

Team Teagarden All the Way!!!

Where does Bone to Pick rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Bone to Pick ranks pretty high among the audiobooks I have consumed. It kept my attention start to finish.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Yes, it was engaging, funny, and an enjoyable read (listen).

Which character – as performed by Therese Plummer – was your favorite?

All of them. Some books really don't transfer well to audio, mainly because the characters are not distinctive enough for you to recognize them based on their actions/attitudes/tone. But Ms. Harris defined distinct characters who stand out alone.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes it was, and yes I did.

Another Entertaining Chapter

Any additional comments?

This is the point in the series where our librarian heroine becomes unexpectedly well off, freeing her up to spend more time investigating mysteries. I was pretty surprised at the direction Roe's love life takes at the beginning of this book. As fans of the series may know Roe's love life is something of a challenge. Like all Charlaine Harris books, we hear a lot about that and about what Roe is wearing etc. Similarly typical is that not everything that occurs seems entirely likely, but this does not diminish my enjoyment. But there is a mystery that gets solved, and an exciting ending. Good installment in the series.

good steady story, but not my favorite series.

just like the title says. Aurora Teagarden stories are well written, steady entertainment but not my favorite series. they pass the time, though. i think it's mostly because I' don't really like the narrator, that our takes away from the story for me.

A Little Too Cute and Too Southern..,

...for this city girl. There’s a lot about life in a southern town and a dated interest in the narrator’s love life.

The narrator was fine.
