When a Hollywood film crew descends on the small town of Lawrenceton, Georgia, part-time librarian Aurora Teagarden gets a behind-the-scenes look at moviemaking—and reprises her role as an amateur sleuth…
It’s been more than a year since her husband Martin’s death, and Roe Teagarden is still in mourning. All she wants is to be left alone to grieve—but that becomes impossible when a movie company arrives in Lawrenceton. They’ve come to make a film based on a book written by her onetime boyfriend Robin Crusoe, a book that detailed their shared investigation of a series of murders that occurred years before.
The locals are delighted. Roe is not. But Robin is just beginning to win her over when the lead actress—who is playing Roe—is killed. Once again, the two of them join forces to thwart a killer—without knowing that Roe herself is the next target...

Last Scene Alive An Aurora Teagarden Mystery Book 7 (Audible Audio Edition) Charlaine Harris Therese Plummer Recorded Books Books Reviews
An interesting ending to a much enjoyed book. I liked that there was another chance for Robin and that the main character realized moving was a major part in finally being able to move on with her life.
Interesting twist made for a wonderful book.
Spoiler
Sad to read that Aurora has sold the house Martin bought her as a wedding gift.
But exciting for Aurora to have Robin back in her life.
This entertaining cozy series rates four stars for sheer variability, though I felt this book was a bit perfunctory. Still, for a less richly-woven book than the others in the series, there was certainly a lot going on, with starlets, obsessive fans, rare diseases, and 60s radicals in hiding. A good read.
and it's typical that it needed a murder to rouse her. This series seems to have recovered a little of the light-heartedness that had dimmed over the last few books, but it is NOT (despite idiot jacket blurbs) a "cozy."
The plot is thinner than is typical in a Harris mystery -- mostly, I think,so readers can get to know the "new" Roe -- a woman who was widowed with shocking suddenness as an almost incidental incident in a series of nasty crimes. Harris does an excellent job with Roe's gradual recovery, though she focuses exclusively on Martin Bartell's death and ignores the trauma and misery that must have resulted from the attendant crimes. And what would be sufficient to distract Aurora Teagarden in her half-frozen state? Murders old and new, of course.
The movies are coming to town, and they are filming a script based on a true-crime book dealing with a horrid series of murders that plagued Lawrenceton many years earlier. Roe had been instrumental in exposing the killers in that case (nearly dying herself in the process). Roe is NOT happy about this movie, which tastelessly commercializes the deaths of people she knew and cared about, but the rest of the town is star struck. The movie provides an excellent vehichle for bringing Roe's sullen and immature stepson, Barrett, and her one-time, almost-boyfriend, Robin (author of the true crime book), back to town.
However, the movie set is not where Roe finds important information about the new crimes in Lawrenceton. It's her library's collection that holds some of the keys to the mysteries. The murder itself has a fairly wispy plot with not much of anything to detect; the associated crimes are somewhat more melodramatic.
If you've been reading this series, you'll enjoy the development of several long-time characters, as well as Roe's deepening relationship with her mother. This book does a great job in setting up the next one, and it is absorbing to read. If you are new to the series, though, do NOT read this one first. It doesn't quite stand alone.
The year following her husband's death, Aurora still misses him, but her past is about to re-enter her life, in the form of writer Robin Crusoe. But since this is An Aurora Teagarden Mystery, murder soon follows. And of course, Aurora has to investigate the murder and apparently her mourning has ended.
Overall I liked this one. Although it felt a lot more dreary then the previous books in the series. I suppose this makes sense in terms of what has been happening in Roe's life, but I would have liked more of an upbeat feeling. I will continue on in the series in hopes that everything will turn out better in the next one.
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!
