Author: Charlaine Harris
Published: October 4th 2016 by Minotaur Books
Format: Hardcover, 229 pages
Genre: Cozy Mystery
Series: Aurora Teagarden #9
Somehow, I managed to read this series out of order, but now that I am finished, I still can’t believe the innocent and naïve Aurora Teagarden came out of the same author who wrote the Sookie Stackhouse series. Yes, Charlaine Harris did try to her best to make Aurora politically correct and open-minded, but she still came across as an “oh, gosh, gee, golly” kind of character with a matching twinset and practical shoes.
All the Little Liars focuses on the missing half brother of Aurora. Fifteen-year-old Phillip had come to live with Aurora and Robin when his home life went out of control and his parents are more tied up in their own lives, and drama, then they are with raising their son. Now Phillip, and three of his new friends, are missing, and morning sickness ridden Aurora, is determined to find him and not get drawn into the drama which has shown up at her door in the guise of her father.
Family dynamics seem to the at the heart of this book. Aurora and Robin with the impending birth of their child, Phillip and his parents, the families of the missing children, the family of the person responsible for the kidnapping, and even the families coming to terms with what they have found out about their own children.
There are many stutters and starts with this book, and by the end, the story is neatly tied up with a happily ever after feel. Now if only Charlaine Harris could add a little Sookie spice to Aurora’s life.
