The Julius House: An Aurora Teagarden Mystery (2016)

Aurora "Ro" Teagarden, a passionate librarian and president of a real murders discussion club, finds herself entangled in a chilling mystery that hits close to home. Known for her keen intellect and love for solving crimes, she now faces a personal challenge as she steps into the early stages of romance with Martin Bartell, an ex-CIA agent turned corporate executive. The course of true love seems destined, yet it must navigate the eddies of Ro's unyielding tenacity for unravelling enigmas. With a recent inheritance burning a hole in her pocket, Ro is on the hunt for a home, guided by her mother and real estate agent, Aida Teagarden. Ignoring her mother's cautious advice, Ro is captivated by a house located in the country, just five miles from her hometown, Lawrenceton. Despite its notorious reputation as the infamous Julius House, Ro purchases it, undeterred by the eerie story of the Julius family's sudden disappearance four years ago. The family vanished without a trace, leaving behind a lingering question mark and a house filled with secrets. As Ro dives into her new home's enigma, she discovers potential evidence pointing to a sinister truth behind the Julius family's disappearance. With her real murders club colleagues, John Queensland, Sally Allison—a newspaper reporter—and ex-juvie Perry Dell, they embark on a treacherous journey to uncover the truth, ruffling the feathers of Homicide Detective Lynn Smith and causing distress for her boyfriend Martin. Ro's investigation reveals a web of secrets and lies, including a contentious relationship between T.C. Julius and his daughter Charity, and suggests that the house itself may hold hidden clues to the family's fate. As she edges closer to the truth, the danger escalates—if the Julius family were indeed murdered, the killer might feel Ro is too close for comfort. And amidst the unfolding mystery, John finds himself torn between his loyalty to the real murders club and his relationship with Aida, who strongly disapproves of Ro's sleuthing. Caught in the crosshairs of a cold case and personal relationships, Aurora Teagarden must navigate a maze of secrets and lies to uncover the truth, even if it risks the lives and relationships of those closest to her.
