Dead Reckoning by Charlaine Harris

Dead Reckoning (Sookie Stackhouse, #11)

by Charlaine Harris

There?s a reckoning on the way . . .

. . . and Sookie has a knack for being in trouble's way; not least when she witnesses the firebombing of Merlotte's, the bar where she works. Since Sam Merlotte is known to be two-natured, suspicion immediately falls on the anti-shifters in the area. Sookie suspects otherwise, but before she can investigate something else ? something even more dangerous ? comes up.

Sookie?s lover Eric Northman and his ?child? Pam are plotting something in secret. Whatever it is, they seem determined to keep Sookie out of it; almost as determined as Sookie is to find out what?s going on. She can?t sit on the sidelines when both her work and her love life under threat ? but as she?s gradually drawn into their plans Sookie finds the situation is deadlier than she could ever have imagined.

I felt pretty good about this book. I’ve been lukewarm about a lot of the books in the latter half of this series, but here we had a little bit of an old fashioned whodunit, rather than a lot of vampire/fae politics. Of course, we can’t get away from the politics altogether. I’ve always preferred action over talk in this series, and there was plenty of action here. Sookie makes some interesting decisions in this book, and I quite enjoyed the return of Bubba. It was enough to keep me interested in the next novel.
