Ms Harris' new series focuses on Manfred from the Harper Connelly series a he moves to a small town and gets to know everyone. It seems that not everyone is what they appear to be in this sleepy town. As he gets to know everyone in this one light town, they get to know him as well. An impromptu town picnic stumbles across the body of Manfred's landlord's missing girlfriend. Bobo has been wondering why she left town with no note and never asked for her things. He filed a missing person's report but nothing had come of it. Turns out she wasn't just his girlfriend but was someone sent to find out more about him and a possible treasure trove of guns from his late white supremacist grandfather. Things and people have more of flavor of her last series but this is certainly a mystery story. There are little remarks from characters that bring mention other series that Charlaine Harris has written and I have to wonder if she is going to braid all her seperate series together with this trilogy. Should be interesting.
