The writing is good, the plot interesting and the characters believable. But the protagonist is a little tiresome. She likes her delicate Southern self image and thinks her preoccupation with which glasses to wear is cute. She is prone to stomp off to her bedroom and cry when she doesn’t get her way, which is irritating. I wouldn’t seek out another book in this series. As a footnote I’d like to mention the author refers to Joe Pike as Joe Pyle. Someone should have caught that error.Tags : The Julius House (Aurora Teagarden Mysteries, Book 4) [Charlaine Harris] on Amazon.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers.

The Julius House Aurora Teagarden Mysteries Book 4 Charlaine Harris 9780373262175 Books Reviews
This booked had me glued to it from start to finish! I loved the twist and turns of the storyline,I found the outcome interesting and exciting, I can't wait to read the next book in the series,I have a feeling that there is a lot of sadness heading Aurora's way.
I enjoyed this book! I hadn't read any of this series before but I had seen the movies on Hallmark. I knew what to expect but I didn't expect to enjoy it as much as I did. I recommend this series and this author!
This is one of Ms. Harris' earlier books and it shows in the writing. There are a few plot errors from book to book in the series but mainly noticeable if you read them back to back like I did. Overall a good book and only slightly predictable ending. It is very different from the made for T.V. movies!
"The Julius House" is the fourth Aurora Teagarden mystery. Aurora Teagarden went for years without dating. Then in a brief amount of time she had a torrid relationship with a police officer which fizzled fast, and another relationship with the town minister, that never truly heated up. Now 31, Aurora is getting married to an older man, Martin Bartell, who she realizes that she doesn't REALLY know. She knows Martin has big secrets but she is ready to marry him anyway. Charlaine Harris never really spells it out for the reader, but I believe that Aurora feels like she is becoming a 'spinster'. She wants marriage, a real relationship with a man so much that she doesn't care that he has secrets as long as she can pretend they don't exist. Shortly after she and Martin marry, Aurora learns some of his secrets. And now Aurora finds herself with a new house, the Julius House, and its mystery of how the family disappeared six years ago. That mystery is a good, entertaining one, but even more pressing is what Martin is hiding. The new characters are Martin's 'friends' who have moved into the apartment attached to the Julius House, and they are intresting as well. Angel is particular was well drawn and I can't wait to see if anything intresting comes from her character. Altogether this was an extremely strong volume to the series. I think I enjoy this one better than then Harris's Shakespeare's series. I also think this series is getting more engrossing as the go along. Recommended to Charlaine Harris fans as well as mystery fans.
The Julius House is the fourth book in the Aurora Teagarden series. Aurora "Roe" has finally recovered from her injuries incurred at the end of the last book and is happily engaged to Martin Bartell, her handsome, older, richer boyfriend. For her wedding gift, Martin buys her the Julius house, the perfect house for her. Many people think she is crazy for living there due to the sudden disappearance of the Julius family who used to live there. Roe doesn't worry about it in the slightest and concentrates on glorying in her happily engaged status. She loves being the bride instead of the bridesmaid and pushes any doubts about her soon-to-be-husband aside. When they return from their perfect honeymoon in England, Roe settles in to redecorate and get settled. She is surprised when Martin informs her that two of his friends are down on their luck and that they will be moving into the apartment over the garage. Still, Roe is in love and excited to meet some of Martin's friends and does her best to welcome them. She soon discovers, however, that they are really there to guard her. When pressured, Martin confesses that he is a gunrunner in South America and that he is always worried about retaliation. To take her mind off of this confession, Roe decides that she is going to find out what happened to the Julius family and drags her bodyguard along for the ride. She soon discovers that sometimes it is better to let secrets remain buried...
I admit that the whole Roe/Martin wedding was a little contrived, but Roe really has wanted to get married all of her life and is extremely flattered that such an attractive, wealthy gentleman would be in love with her. It was fun to see Roe's thought processes as she dealt with extreme changes and challenges in her new life. I quite enjoyed the whole Julius family subplot and, though the ending was a little bit too shocking, Roe's whole investigation was quite logical and shows how one determined person can often put clues together that other people missed. As with the her other books, Charlaine Harris offers the reader a host of interesting supporting characters, many amusing details about the mystery and a fun, fast read for those who enjoy this type of genre. I feel that Harris' other mystery series starring Lily Bard (Shakespeare set) is stronger and her Dead Until Dark series is cleverer, but anything that Harris writes is worth reading!
Having enjoyed the Sookie Stackhouse series (except the last book), I tried this on a whim, thanks to a daily deal. I was really underwhelmed. Approximately 90% of the book could be chalked up as #fwp, and about 10% mystery. I found the protagonist to be annoying, the plot line weird, and the supporting cast rather boring and unbelievable. Perhaps Roe was wearing her judgy-pants a bit too snugly in this book, but as I don't find that a likable quality in my real-life friends, I don't feel the need to explore the other books in the series.
Wow, this was amazing..I was not prepared for this story ..nothing like the movie and nothing like reviews I had read. First, Aurora is not letting Martin control her. She does fine on her own! Second..I like how the author has her human, real, yet brave and fiesty. Third, what a mystery, I did make a guess about Charity And Harley, but what a story. Fourth, Auroua makes herself more unsafe than Martin's work...great read!
The writing is good, the plot interesting and the characters believable. But the protagonist is a little tiresome.
