Book Review: The Missing Mother
Summary: 5 Stars
A Fool and His Honey (1999) is the sixth mystery novel in the Aurora Teagrarden series, following Dead Over Heels. In the previous volume, Roe attended Jack's funeral. Afterward, she again considered everybody's actions and positions and realized who the killer had to be. She went back to cemetery in time to save Martin.
In this novel, Aurora Teagarden was born and raised in the small town of Lawrenceton, Georgia, in the suburbs of Atlanta. She is now married to Martin. Roe has had some strange happenings in her life.
Martin Bartell is Roe's husband. He is manager of the local Pan-Am Agra plant. Martin was born and raised in Corinth, Ohio, and served in combat as a Marine at the end of the Vietnam War. Then he served as a covert operative in Central America.
Regina Graham is Martin's niece. She is married to Craig Graham and is the mother of Haydon, a two or three week old infant.
In this story, Regina appears at the house without prior notice. At first, Roe doesn't recognize her, but the name comes to her after a brief pause. Then Regina introduces Haydon.
Roe and Martin let Regina and Haydon use the garage apartment and get them settled. Yet they learn little about the reasons for the visit. After returning from dinner visit, they find Regina gone and Craig dead on the stairway with a hatchet in his head.
Then Roe finds Haydon under the bed in the apartment. Apparently Regina had managed to conceal him from the murderer. Now Roe has a crash course in tending a very young baby.
Roe also finds Rory -- Craig's friend -- asleep in the house. The police question him, but get few useful answers. Roe and Martin also question him, but learn only that he is evading straight responses. Then Rory also vanishes.
Roe finds that a very young baby is tiring. Haydon wakes in the night and has frequent dirty diapers. Soon she is looking for someone in the family to take the baby.
This tale takes Roe and Martin to the wilds of Ohio. Roe gets to experience more -- and deeper -- snow than she has ever seen before. She had never known that the woods could be so quiet with snow on the ground.
The town of Corinth is older that Lawrenceton and seems more rundown. Otherwise, Corinth seems much like home. The people are much the same.
This story has a very unhappy ending. The next installment -- Last Scene Alive -- brings Hollywood to Lawrenceton. Read and enjoy!
Highly recommended for Harris fans and for anyone else who enjoys tales of first degree murder, amateur detectives, and a spunky librarian. For anyone unfamiliar with this series, the initial volume is Real Murders.
