Started to read the third book in the Aurora Teagarden Mystery series by Charlaine Harris, "Three Bedrooms, One Corpse".

From Amazon:
"At loose ends after her adventures in A Bone to Pick , former librarian Aurora Teagarden pitches in to help her mother Aida, a busy real estate agent in Lawrenceton, Ga. On her first unofficial showing of a house, Aurora discovers the naked corpse of a rival realtor in the master bedroom. Somewhat daunted, Aurora and her no-nonsense mom determine that the culprit must be another real estate agent--someone who could have gotten the key from Aida's office without raising suspicion. Then the body of another broker is discovered in another house for sale. Adding to Aurora's distress is her growing attraction to mysterious Martin Bartell, whose company has transferred him to Lawrenceton to reorganize its plant. Plucky, charming Aurora must choose between the dependable, uncomplicated Episcopalian minister whom she has been chastely dating and Martin, whose responsibility for laying off workers makes him dangerous to know. Meanwhile she and her mother question Aida's staff, other brokers and friends to determine who killed the realtors. With the disbanding of the Real Murders Club (which informally rehashed true crime cases), Aurora has time to sleuth to her heart's content in this high-spirited Southern cozy."

Emphasis on "Started to read". I've been fiddling around with this for three days now and have progressed to page 42. It just doesn't interest me at all. It's not Charlaine Harris -- I love her Sookie Stackhouse books. Well, perhaps that's the problem: no vampires in this one. I have the attention span of a small child at the moment and it shows in my reading performance. It took me almost a month to read Northern Lights and I genuinely liked that book. Anyway, I decided there is no point with continuing this book, if I have to talk myself into picking it up just because it is a bookring and I feel obligated. Sod that, it's packed up and I will post it next week.
