Charlaine Harris can't seem to write a bad book. SLEEP
LIKE A BABY is another excellent example. Aurora is back
and very pregnant. After delivering her beautiful
daughter Sophie, she is thrown into the world of loving a
child. Experiencing the kind of love only a parent can know.
Of course,
being Aurora, life is never just simple motherhood.
Her husband, Robin Crusoe, goes on a business trip leaving
Aurora with Sophie, her brother, and a nanny, Virginia, to
help. The day Robin leaves, Aurora comes down with a full
blown case of the flu. Virginia is a life saver until Aurora
wakes up to a screaming baby and can't find
Virginia anywhere. If a missing nanny isn't bad enough,
what Aurora does find is a body in the back yard. Now
with a horrible case of the flu, Aurora must deal with a
missing nanny, a dead stranger, and a very hungry baby.
Aurora and Robin are a wonderful couple, along with her
brother and new baby Sophie, you have a family that you
love and want to follow. It sure helps keep the story
exciting, that if there is trouble anywhere then it will
involve Aurora or those close to her.
Aurora and Robin look into the case, even as the police
investigation progresses. They are practical and talk
though things in a manner that insures the readers can feel
their process working.
As I said, Charlaine Harris can not write a bad book. She
has the most wonderful characters written. You become
part of their lives and love their town. You want to go
over, share a cup of tea with Aurora and read Robin's
latest novel. I'm so glad the Aurora Teagarden
series is still
going strong. I can't wait to see what kind of trouble
she will get into next.
In Sleep Like a Baby, the latest installment of the #1
New York Times Bestselling Charlaine Harris’s Aurora
Teagarden series, Robin and Aurora have finally begun
their adventure in parenting. With newborn Sophie proving
to be quite a handful, Roe’s mother pays for a partially
trained nurse, Virginia Mitchell, to come help the new
parents for a few weeks. Virginia proves to be especially
helpful when Robin has to leave town for work and Roe is
struck with a bad case of the flu.
One particularly stormy night, Roe wakes to hear her
daughter crying and Virginia nowhere to be found. Roe's
brother Philip helps her search the house and they happen
upon a body outside… but it isn’t Virginia’s. Now, not
only does she have a newborn to care for and a vulnerable
new marriage to nurture, Roe also has to contend with a
new puzzle -- who is this mystery woman dead in their
backyard, and what happened to Virginia? This heart-
pounding and exciting next installment of the Aurora
Teagarden series will leave fans happy and hungry for
more.
