Definitely Dead by Charlaine Harris
3.0
I think there must be a short story that was published in between this book and the last, but due to Ms Harris' love of exposition down to every little meaningless detail, I don't think it's necessary to go and seek it out.
There's times when I'm reading these books when I'm sure Sookie is about to discover a severed head or something in her coffee canister because the story is going into such intimate detail into her morning routine, but no - she's always just making her coffee.
Anyway, this is the one where Sookie heads to New Orleans, meets the Queen of Louisiana, gets involved in a variety of different plots, some of which don't actually get resolved or appear to lead anywhere (or perhaps they do in future books). Also, we meet Quinn, the new love interest, who has a lot of chemistry with Sookie and is a bit of a blank slate otherwise.
This did feel like a bit of a placeholder in the series - none of the characters or storylines progress much. I'll definitely keep reading though, as I'm a bit addicted to listening to this series while I do chores around the house.
