In this latest installment in the Sookie Stackhouse series,
Sookie has survived the Fae War. The healing has been slow,
and not everyone is faring well. Sookie misses the
connection with family that is now severed, but looks
forward to her own healing, and spending quality time with
her vampire boyfriend Eric--that is when he has the time now
that he is under an intense amount of scrutiny under the new
vampire king.
The peace and tranquility, however, don't last. This time,
all of Sookie's concerns seem to revolve around family. Even
though the doors to the Faery have been closed, there are
recent traces of fae on her property. Does her cousin Claude
and his sudden appearance have anything to do with it? Then
a Were is found murdered on Sookie's land. Why was a he
murdered and placed on there? To frame her? And is so, why?
And the biggest question of all--why has Eric's maker
returned after a long absence of almost one hundred years,
and what does it mean for the future of their relationship?
The answers to these questions takes a long winding road-
with multiple plots going on in Harris's DEAD IN THE FAMILY.
You get more background into the depth of Eric's character
as his past is dealt with in Sookie's present. As each part
is solved, you are then swept up in a new mystery that when
seen together are part of a larger arc. This book in the
series was a good read- as it travels from one plot movement
and phase to the next as Sookie deals with the two parts of
the supernatural world she lives.

After enduring torture
and the loss of loved ones during the brief but deadly Faery
War, Sookie Stackhouse is hurt and she's angry. Just about

beginning to be felt, Sookie's connection to the Shreveport
pack draws her into the debate. Worst of all, though the
door to Faery has been closed, there are still some Fae on
the human side-and one of them is angry at Sookie. Very,
very angry...
