Midnight Crossing

Charlaine Harris starts a new series with the book Midnight Crossing.  This book introduces a town - - - Midnight, Texas - - - and a cast of intriguing characters.  The story revolves around the disappearance of Aubrey.  When her body eventually reappears our cast must attempt to solve her murder while dealing with a bunch of local right-wing militia types who are convinced that Bobo (one of our characters) did it.  While the mystery was very superficial the characters themselves were quite interesting and Harris did well by hinting at things she didn’t reveal leaving the reader looking forward to learning more in subsequent books.

A book I would recommend to fans of Harris as well as a good place to point people who are unfamiliar with her work & who like light, humorous fantasy.
