Robin is off to an award ceremony and Aurora has the flu, so a helper is hired to assist. But the second night she is there Roe is awakened by a screaming baby and Virginia is nowhere around. However, in searching the house and yard a woman's body is found. But it is not Virginia. The murder mystery is OK and there are a couple of side stories that are interesting, but it is really time for this series to end as it apparently has. Too many things for one person to involved in. It is getting a little too much. ( )

Aurora Teagarden has to overcome the flu and new motherhood to solve the mystery of why a woman was murdered in her back yard. ( )

First time reading one of the Aurora Teagarden books. This one has Aurora having a baby at the start of the book. She comes down with the flu at the same time her author husband is due at book convention. They hire a nanny for the weekend to help with the baby. But things take a sudden change for the worse when the nanny comes up missing and there's a dead body in the backyard. ( )

Too much baby sh*t

Used to like this series, but the baby and all the breast feeding and diaper changing has ruined it. Won't be bothering with reading any more. ( )

Robin is away, Roe is out cold sleeping off a fever, there is a body in their back garden, and the nanny has disappeared.

Enjoyable but not up to the standard of the previous one. ( )
