Aurora Teagarden is a librarian in Lawrenceton, Georgia and she is the landlady for townhouses her mother owns. Aurora also belongs ot a group that meets monthly to discuss a real murder. At one meeting Aurora finds the body of a group member who has been killed in a way that resembles the murder she was to discuss that month.
