Dead Over Heels

Dead Over Heels by Charlaine Harris introduces readers to part-time librarian Aurora 'Roe' Teagarden, who finds herself entangled in a perplexing murder case. This is the fifth thrilling mystery in the series by the No. 1 New York Times and Sunday Times bestselling author Charlaine Harris.

Roe never liked Detective Sergeant Jack Burns, but she certainly didn't wish for his demise—especially not dropped from a plane right into her front yard. Fortunately, Lawrenceton's finest know that Roe couldn't have been in two places at once, so she is not a suspect.

However, a series of bizarre events begins to unfold around Roe, from the peculiar, such as her irascible cat turning up with a pink ribbon, to the violent, including her assistant at the library being attacked, and the potentially deadly, as seen in the stabbing of her ex-lover. Clearly, there is a personal message hidden in this chaos that Roe must unravel before it is too late.
