Dead as a Doornail is the 5th installment in the Sookie Stackhouse series. Main focus of the book: Following on from the 4th book, Sookie's brother Jason is getting used to his new 'shifting' status after being bitten by a werepanther. He's still in trouble though as there is a sniper shooting the local shape-shifters and Jason is prime suspect; he can only partially shift because he was bitten and not a werepanther by birth and he's a little put out by this fact. When Sam, Sookie's boss, is shot by the sniper, Sookie has to go to Eric for a temporary bar tender. He loans her Charles, a vampire [who by the way is a Pirate!]. Sookie is also in ...  Read the complete review

Since then she has written 30 books of which eight have featured Sookie Stackhouse as her lead character. This novel I'm reviewing is the fifth in ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Dead As A Doornail - Charlaine Harris: Dead good series but is this one dead in the water? (552 words)

Rating:

Since the success of the True Blood series on HBO, which is based on the Sookie Stackhouse Southern Vampire Mysteries, these books are being re-released. Dead as a Doornail is book 5 of the series and to fully appreciate the story, it really would be better to begin at book 1 (Dead Until Dark), simply because the characterisation and back story has built since the beginning. ...Synopsis: Sookie Stackhouse is a cocktail waitress in a little bar in a small town deep in Louisiana. She's funny and pretty and well-mannered, but she doesn't have that many close friends - mind you, that's not so surprising when you consider how few people can appreciate her ...  Read the complete review
