Critic reviews

• Audie Award Finalist, Mystery, 2007

"Harris keeps the action going nonstop in this bubbly brew of supernatural spice and whimsical whodunit that's more fun than a barrel of beignets." (Publishers Weekly)

Thank you Ms Parker

I've read & loved this series from the beginning & have enjoyed the development of Sookie from a fairly naive barmaid to a more street-savvy person. In this book, her smarts are quite apparent but so is her wide-eyed, small-town persona.

Johanna Parker's rendition of Sookie in this story as well as "Dead as a Doornail" is absolutely perfect. It is exactly as I imagined her to sound when I read the previous books. Ms Parker's voices for the other characters are also very good.

For me, this was thoroughly enjoyable translation from paper to voice. I look forward to listening to the next one.

Just a fun adventure

I enjoyed True Blood on HBO so while listening to this book I can see the characters in my mind. Its a fun ( very dark at times ) adventure of Sookie and her strange friends. A+. I am a Man over 40 and a Fan of Dark Shadows. If you like DS you will like this.

Love it

I totally enjoy this entire series. At first I was put off by the southern accent (I am southern and we tend to be picky about this) but after a chapter I loved it. Sookie is a character to love and even admire, Charlaine Harris is a very imaginative and thoughtful author.

love it!

Can't wait to listen to the next book in the series. what happens next...

As usual, the Sookie series is great, filled with humor, horror, action, romance and intrigue. love all of the series.

This series is still my favorite. It has characters that come alive, especially via audio book. The farther along you get into this Series, the more hooked you'll be. you can't help but love them all. the 7th in the series is hands down, the absolute best of the entire series. Don't miss it!

Always entertaining

Follow Sookie on another adventure, meet some new characters and learn more about old ones. How could you go wrong?

Loved it!

Exciting story and exceptional narration. So much better than the TV series. Looking forward to another in the series.

Love the books!

Big fan of the show, so I began with the books. Different than the show but the books are just as excellent. Narration is very fitting as well.
