It’s only at the very end of the book that the action heats up and you get hit with a surprising ending. Similar to the first book in the Stackhouse series, this is a meandering supernatural mystery that focuses on the strange residents of a small town. I’m a fan of Charlaine Harris’ Sookie Stackhouse series (far more than the TV series, past season 2 anyways), so after I saw that this series has been adapted for TV I thought I’d skip that step and just read the book instead. But if you stay a while, you might learn the truth… If you stop at the one traffic light in town, then everything looks normal. 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). There’s a diner (although those folk who are just passing through tend not to linger). There’s a pawnshop (where someone lives in the basement and runs the store during the night). It’s a pretty standard dried-up western town. 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.
