Dead Reckoning by Charlaine Harris
Is the eleventh (!) book in the southern vampire mysteries. It still revolves around Sookie Stackhouse and whereas the earlier books really engaged me to the point of obsession. Dead in the Family and Dead Reckoning both have left me somewhat cold.
I was mulling the reasons over and I came up with this conclusion: there is no mystery in these two novels. It's all character but and a lot of questions answered but really no major questions set up and no central mystery. I still liked the characters and I still wanted to find out what happened, but the urgency just wasn't there like it was in the earlier novels.
I still love Eric though, so that's all right with the world.
