After a long period of distance between Sookie and Bill, he informs her he has to go off on business and may be gone awhile. He also tells her what to do if he is not back in a certain time. Feeling deserted, Sookie mopes but carries on until Eric shows up saying Bill went back to an old love and then disappeared and he thinks kidnapped for the project he's been working on. Sookie agrees to go to Jackson, MS and see if she can use her telepathic skills to find him. She gets a bodyguard and a werewolf to get her into the Vampire club. Of course things don't go as planned and there are plenty of baddies. Good volume in the series. (

Well, this was much better than the second novel, but still there's something missing. (

It's so much fun to get lost in Sookie's world! I highly recommend chiseling out some time to do a binge reading of Dead books. (

Probably my favorite Sookie book so far. The clothes the author puts Sookie in continue to horrify and delight (she's 26 and un-ironically excited to wear a Christmas sweater with reindeer on it? Her dress has sleeves, but no shoulders? Is it possible this was written in 1992?), but it only makes the whole series more fun at this point. I'm especially glad she's on the outs with Bill in this one because he is BORING.

Epigraph

Dedication

This book is dedicated to my middle child, Timothy Schulz, who told me flatly he wanted a book all to himself.

My Thanks to Lisa Weissenbuehler, Kerie I, Nickle, Marie La Dalle, and the incomparable Doris Ann Norris for their input on car trunks, great and small. My further thanks to Janet Davis, Irene, and Sonya Stocklin, also cybercitizens of DorotyL, for their information on bars, bouree ( a card game), and the parish governments of Louisiana. Joan Coffey was most gracious with supplying information about Jackson. the wonderful and obliging Jane Lee drove me patiently around Jackson for many hours, entering thoroughly into the spirit of finding the perfect location for a vampire bar.

First words

Bill was hunched over the computer when I let myself in his house.
