Bestseller Harris mixes humorous Southern-fried fantasy with biting satirical commentary in her seventh novel to feature Sookie Stackhouse, the bubbly telepathic barmaid from Bon Temps, La. (after 2006's Definitely Dead
). Sookie attends an all-important central U.S. vamp summit on the shores of Lake Michigan as a "human geiger counter" for Sophie-Anne Leclerq, vampire queen of a Louisiana weakened by Katrina and who will be tried during the event for murdering her king. Sookie knows the queen is innocent, but she's hardly prepared for other shocking murders, not to mention protests by the Fellowship of the Sun, a right-wing antivampire movement. Her sleuthing skills, along with those of her new telepath friend, Barry the Bellboy, are put to the extreme test. Harris juggles a large cast, including several romantic contenders for Sookie's heart, with effortless exuberance. HBO's True Blood
, based on this addictive series, is scheduled to begin its TV run this fall. 11-city author tour. -

Johanna Parker's perky narration is perfectly suited to Harris's heroine, Sookie Stackhouse, a bubbly, telepathic barmaid, and her world of vampires, fairies, and other supernaturals. Parker empathetically portrays the large cast of characters, including Sookie's boyfriend, weretiger Quinn; her fellow telepath, Barry Bellboy; the vampire queen of LA; and her roommate, Amelia. Sookie starts sleuthing at a vampire conference on the shores of Lake Michigan when vampires start dying. Parker's splendid pacing allows listeners time to absorb the action and emotions. Between the plot twists, romantic entanglements, and biting satirical commentary, listeners will be enthralled. S.C.A. (c) AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine -

Sookie Stackhouse, the telepathic barmaid from Bon Temps, LA, returns in Harris's (Definitely Dead) seventh mystery, a strange brew of vampire fantasy (weretigers beside werewolves!), romantic comedy, and murder. Sookie uses her telepathic powers to assist the Queen of Louisiana in fighting a murder charge that surfaces at a vampire summit on the shores of Lake Michigan. Titled True Blood for HBO, the series is scheduled for broadcast this fall. But narrator Johanna Parker just can't do justice to the large cast of characters, with male voices particularly poorly rendered. Purchase where demand for Sookie warrants.Sandy Glover, Camas P.L., WACopyright 2007 Library Journal, LLC Used with permission.
