Another delightful Southern vampire detective book with Sookie as the main (human) character. Sookie's brother is starting to turn into a werepanther and a sniper is killing the local changeling population. Sookie Stackhouse is the main character throughout this series. She's totally human and has the ability to read minds. She's a charming, well-developed character as are the minor and not so minor characters around her. This book is filled with plot twists and fascinating characters. There's even an erotic, sensual element when Sookie gets involved with one of the supernatural characters. It's a book with more than horror: black humor, charm, funny dialogue, and a well paced plot. I wanted to pick up another book with this series but have read them all. I finished the book wanting more.
