Over the years we have learned how to provide online shoppers with cheap prices on the most popular books and to do so with fast shipping. location! Published in 2017, this widely popular book has proven to serve its audience well, based on the abundance of positive reviews it has received by its readers. I’m excited to find out more about these characters and their pasts as I progress through the series.Night Shift (A Novel of Midnight Texas) by Charlaine Harris is available now for quick shipment to any U.S. I’m curious to see if these are just fun little Easter eggs for Harris fans or if they have a deeper connection later in the series. Something that intrigues me is that there are mentions of blood substitutes (a tie to the Sookie Stackhouse series) and Bobo’s references earlier in life to going to karate class with Lily Bard (the eponymous protagonist of the Lily Bard Shakespeare series). Was the killer someone connected to her past life? Was it Bobo? Or was it someone else from the town? Honestly, I didn’t see the answer coming. The plot centers on the mystery of who killed Bobo’s girlfriend, Aubrey, who wasn’t quite who she seemed. Manfred finds him self gradually becoming a major part of the group and wanting to do right by them, even if it puts him in significant danger. They all go out of their way to help each other, even if it requires them getting their hands dirty. What really sold me on the book were the characters and their relationships.

Owns the local pawn shop.įiji Cavanaugh: Lives across the street from Bobo and harbors a major crush on him. Lets take a look at the major characters.īobo Winthrop: Manfred’s landlord and all around good guy. Here he meets an interesting cast of characters. Manfred is a psychic who finds himself moving to the small, close knit town of Midnight, Texas. Arguably, Manfred Bernardo is the protagonist, but this is really more of an ensemble piece and an ensemble piece is only as good as its characters. That isn’t the case at all, but don’t think of that as a bad thing. I was expecting something akin to the Sookie Stackhouse series with a male protagonist in a Texas town.
Midnight Crossroad wasn’t at all what I expected. There’s a newcomer, Manfred Bernardo, who just wants to work hard and blend in. There’s a diner, but people stopping there tend not to linger. 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 the Davy highway. Midnight Crossroad is the first book in the Midnight Texas series by Charlaine Harris.
