What and Who: Dead as a Doornail by Charlaine Harris, hardcover edition, ISBN 9780441012794
What it's about: When she is not waitressing or preoccupied with her own amorous adventures, telepath Sookie Stackhouse is tracking down a serial killer of shapeshifters. Her sleuthing is partly altruistic, but she's also trying to save her were-panther brother, Jason, who has become the chief suspect in the crime.
Sookie's got just a month, before the next full moon, to find out who wants her brother dead - and to stop the fiend! Sookie Stackhouse enjoys her life, mostly. She's a great cocktail waitress in a fun bar; she has a love life, albeit a bit complicated, and most people have come to terms with her telepathy. The problem is, Sookie wants a quiet life - but things just seem to happen to her and her friends. Now her brother Jason's eyes are starting to change: he's about to turn into a were-panther for the first time. She can deal with that, but her normal sisterly concern turns to cold fear when a sniper sets his deadly sights on the local changeling population. She afraid not just because Jason's at risk, but because his new were-brethren suspect Jason may be the shooter. Sookie has until the next full moon to find out who's behind the attacks - unless the killer decides to find her first. (goodreads)
What I thought: This is the second time I've picked up this book to read it. At least I finished it this time. It doesn't seem as good to me as the other Southern Vampire books - too much going on that's more weird than ever.
How I rate it: Sorry all my friends who love Sookie - for me it was just o.k. so I give a 3.
Where I got it: I checked it out from the Wesmark Branch of the library.
