Deciding if she wants to go into real estate becomes a life-or-death choice for Aurora "Roe" Teagarden. A naked corpse is discovered at her first house showing. And when a second body is found in another house for sale, it becomes obvious that there is a very cool killer at large in Lawrenceton, one who knows a great deal about real estate - and maybe too much about Roe... This recording is unabridged. Typically abridged audiobooks are not more than 60% of the author's work and as low as 30% with characters and plotlines removed.

I have just finished reading this installment of the Aurora Teagarden series and thoroughly enjoyed it. It is, in my opinion, the best so far.
In 'Three Bedrooms, One Corpse' Aurora begins working at her mother's real estate firm, and stumbles across the body of a fellow Realtor during her first house viewing. When another Realtor is found dead during a viewing, and her new love interest is placed under suspicion, Roe begins to investigate the world of real estate and the employees of the local firms, including the one owned by her mother. A surprise ending leaves you longing to know what happens in the next installment!
I would recommend this book to anybody who has begun reading the Aurora Teagarden series. It is an easy read that can be picked up any time of day and is easy to get into. I am looking forward to reading the next in the series.

Aurora's estate agent mother has problems - thefts from houses up for sale, dead bodies found in two of them. Usually so unflustered, she now is a bit - especially as the corpses are those of her staff.
Aurora (now ex-librarian) as usual relates, this third novel in the series immeasurably better than the second. Some may feel too much attention is given to showering, attire and hairstyles, but tiny Aurora is desperate for a worthy husband and wants to look her best.
Quite intriguing and enjoyable, until the very end - a contrived violent climax the result of incredible silliness by the culprit and total stupidity on Aurora's part.
This early Charlaine Harris seems to pre-date mobile phones (which would have made a real difference in several sequences), but contains aspects to become very familiar - not least a horrendous battering for her heroine. There are interesting insights into the work of estate agents (in America, realtors) - convincing detail a feature that enhances all her works.
A bit tame compared with the later Sookie and Harper novels, but this gentle offering is pleasant enough.

One of the Most Amusing Mystery Writers Around!
12 Mar 2003
By Silmarwen
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Aurora Teagarden returns in the 3rd book in the hilarious mystery series. Aurora is a short, respectible, 30-something single female in the small town of Lawrenceton. She used to work at the library until she unexpectedly inherited a fortune from a friend. Now she is footloose and fancy free with no job to tie her down, no boyfriend (due to a recent break up) and no money problems. Too bad that she is bored to death. Aurora decides that she needs something to do, so she starts learning about the real estate business from her mother, the best real estate agent in town. When her mother asks her to go and open up an expensive home so that her wealthy new clients can take a look, Roe is agreeable and cheerfully sets off to show the home to the best of her ability. Within an hour she has decided that the real estate business isn't for her, that the new guy in town, although quite a bit older is really hot and there is definitely some attraction there, and that, no matter how trashy in real life, no one deserves to be murdered and put on display in an empty house for someone to find. When her friend's husband is accused of being the murderer, Roe feels that she has to intervene and find out what really happened. Along the way she has to deal with her completely physical reaction to a gorgeous, wealthy older man, a cantankerous cat, shopping for a new home, and a disgruntled ex-employee of her new boyfriend who has started stalking her. You know, the usual problems...
I thought that Three Bedrooms, One Corpse was quite entertaining and finished it in one sitting. Charlaine Harris is a very talented author and, while there may have been a few small errors (which I didn't notice because I was too caught up in the story), she has a very smooth writing style that allows you to be amused and informed at the same time. The plot moves quickly and there are several subplots that keep the reader involved with the characters. Although I still enjoyed the Lily Bard/Shakespeare series and the Southern Vampire series more, I have grown quite fond of Aurora Teagarden and know that I will pick up anything that Charlaine Harris cares to write. At the cheap price that these books are available for, why not treat yourself?

Wonderful blend of plot and humour

By A Customer

Format:Paperback
This author is a real "find". It's great to stumble across an author who really manages to balance humour, plot and character development. I'm looking forward to reading more of these books because Ms. Harris obviously intends for her characters personal relationships to change and develop. Hope she writes more (and soon)

Not Favorite Harris Series By Any Stretch
5 Mar 2010
By Shanaa
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This series is definitely not a keeper but can be a mildly entertaining read. My biggest gripes about this book are the same for all in the series so far.
One: Aurora's interactions with the other characters is my favorite part of these books, and what I enjoy about a good series in general. In this series she seems to find great chemistry with one guy, is seemingly falling in love, and then all of a sudden by the next book she is with the OTHER guy (the one you didn't like all that much and is obviously wrong for her.) In this latest installment the "love at first sight" is simply not believable to me... Martin is not very fleshed out as a character and now all of the sudden he is the ONE? What happened to Robin? Harris never goes into this in detail, which is annoying, and leaves the reader vaguely unsatisfied.
Two: Aurora is just not that great a character! Kind of dumb and never learns from her mistakes. She hasn't the charm of Sookie nor the depth of Harper. She is the dumb blond in the horror movie who decides to investigate the noise in the scary motel room while the audience heckles and throws popcorn at the screen :(
In short get this series from the library.
