Our view
“Dead Reckoning” is a late entry in “The Southern Vampire Mysteries”, written for readers who already know Sookie’s tangled supernatural world. Charlaine Harris sets small-town chores beside vampire plotting and gives Sookie new answers about her heritage. Opinion divides over it: some call it a funny return to form, others find it tired and scattered. Some also notice a harder, less carefree heroine than in the early books.
