About this listen

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's 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.

excellent

Such a good book. Written so well, the characters come alive from the pages. Narrated so effortlessly by Johanna! Absolutely love the series and this one, as with the others so far, didn't disappoint. Honestly love these books and love the characters - a must read!

A Solid Entry In The Series

Though slow to start, Dead as a Doornail managed to reach a point in the story where I could not stop listening. Charlaine Harris is a genius at making the final chapters absolutely riveting and chock full of suspense, while albeit predictable. She sets up the next book well here.

The performance by Joanna Parker is as always phenomenal. Though not perfect at doing masculine voices, she goes above and beyond to voice Sookie to perfection!

It may take some time for you to get into it, but you won’t regret it by the end.
