ALL TOGETHER DEAD

Johanna Parker's perky narration is perfectly suited to Harris's heroine, Sookie Stackhouse, a bubbly, telepathic barmaid, and her world of vampires, fairies, and other supernaturals. Parker empathetically portrays the large cast of characters, including Sookie's boyfriend, weretiger Quinn; her fellow telepath, Barry Bellboy; the vampire queen of LA; and her roommate, Amelia. Sookie starts sleuthing at a vampire conference on the shores of Lake Michigan when vampires start dying. Parker's splendid pacing allows listeners time to absorb the action and emotions. Between the plot twists, romantic entanglements, and biting satirical commentary, listeners will be enthralled. S.C.A. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine [Published: OCT/ NOV 07]
