I have just recently discovered books by this author and am enjoying reading the Aurora Teagarden Mystery series which this book is from.  Aurora and her husband, Martin, are surprised one day when Martin's niece, Regina, shows up with a baby.  They put her up in an apartment above their garage and then go to a dinner party.  When they come home they find Regina missing, her husband dead on the stairway to the apartment and the baby sleeping under the bed.  This is only the beginning......  There is a lot more mayhem to occur in this story.  This is not an all's well that ends well story so read to the very end to find out if your predictions of who done it are correct and if you were able to guess how this story ends.

THREE BEDROOMS, ONE CORPSE by Charlaine harris

This was a really fun and light mystery story about Aurora Teagarden.  Aurora is a librarian who recently inherited quite a bit of money and a home from a friend.  She decides to quit her job and as a librarian and become involved in her mother's real estate agency.  However, there have been items stolen from listed homes and several real estate agents have been murdered. Of course,  Aurora becomes involved in sorting through the clues to the burglaries and murders. The story gets interesting when Aurora, a young thirty-something, gives up dating a minister when she falls in love with an interesting older man. In the end, Aurora nails the thief and murderer and finds herself wearing a "huge" engagement ring. This was a fun, easy book to  read and has me reading another story in this series.
