Review: A Touch of Dead

A Touch of Dead by Charlaine Harris

My rating: 2 of 5 stars


This a collection of short stories set in the Sookie Stackhouse universe. If you haven’t read any books about Sookie before I’d say that you shouldn’t start with this book. The reason is both that you won’t get a chance to enjoy the experience of Harris’s the plot and character development, but this books also contains plenty of spoilers so it won’t be very fun to after this book go on to read the whole series.

The short stories themselves are of mixed quality. A few are quite enjoyable, showing the strengths of Harris as a story teller, while other clearly show signs of either having been rushed or been limited due to word length restrictions.
