Published in 1992, A Bone to Pick is the second of eight in the Aurora Teagarden mysteries by Charlaine Harris, best known for her Sookie Stackhouse mysteries on which the popular HBO television show "True Blood" is based.
Having inherited a large estate from a member of the now defunct Real Murders Club, Aurora "Roe" Teagarden, the 4'11" librarian, is mystified by a mere acquaintance's gift of money, jewelry, and a two bedroom house with a skull in the window seat. Did the old lady kill someone and leave Roe to solve the mystery or was she being framed? Roe must figure it all out before her cheating ex-boyfriend Arthur, the police detective, and her new love interest Aubrey, the episcopal priest, figure out what she's up too.
