Day Shift (Midnight, Texas, #2)

by Charlaine Harris

Welcome to Midnight, Texas.

It's a quiet little town, perched at the junction between Davy Road and Witch Light Road, and it's easy to miss. With its boarded-up windows, single traffic light and sleepy air, there's nothing special about Midnight . . . which is exactly how the residents like it.

So when the news comes that a new owner plans to renovate the run-down, abandoned old hotel in town, it's not met with pleasure. Who would want to come to Midnight, with its handful of shops, the Home Cookin diner, and quiet residents - and why?

But there are bigger problems in the air. When Manfred Bernado, the newest resident in town, is swept up in a deadly investigation suddenly the hotel and its residents are the least of the towns concern. The police, lawyers and journalists are all headed to Midnight, and it's the worst possible moment . . .

Day Shift took us back to the odd little town of Midnight where Psychic Manfred Bernardo finds himself in trouble, a new hotel is opening and strange new residence bring trouble. Lots happening in this installment and it all begins outside of Midnight. Manfred is staying in a hotel where he has set up visits with clients for readings. Not only does he bump into someone from Midnight, but one of his clients ends up dead and her greedy son is claiming murder and theft. A new lawyer, Olivia and an assist from Fifi made for an interesting tale. Then we have the new hotel and a particular young boy who the townsfolk take under their wing. I devoured this. Despite, my frustration with a certain witch and a young man I had a good time. Really would someone lock them in a broom closet already. This review was originally posted at Caffeinated Reviewer
