"FIRST IN A NEW TRILOGY From Charlaine Harris, the bestselling author who created Sookie Stackhouse and her world of Bon Temps, Louisiana, comes a darker locale-populated by more strangers than friends. But then, that's how the locals prefer it. Welcome to Midnight, Texas, a town with many boarded-up windows and few full-time inhabitants, located at the crossing of Witch Light Road and Davy Road. It's a pretty standard dried-up western town. There's a pawnshop (someone lives in the basement and is seen only at night). There's a diner (people who are just passing through tend not to linger). And there's new resident Manfred Bernardo, who thinks he's found the perfect place to work in private (and who has secrets of his own). Stop at the one traffic light in town, and everything looks normal. Stay awhile, and learn the truth... "--
Not a bad read, combines a cosy mystery with urban fantasy. You don't meet the murder victim so she's a bit depersonalised. Manfred Bernardo moves to Midnight, Texas and finds that the surface appearance isn't what is in the country, the 24 hour pawn shop is interesting.
When a picnic leads to a body being discovered, the body of a missing woman, things get interesting.
It wasn't a bad read, it just didn't really hold my interest.
