There's a pawnshop (someone who lives in the basement is seen only at night). There's a diner (people who are just passing through tend not to linger). And there's a new resident Manfred Bernardo, who thinks he's found the perfect place to work in private (and who has secrets of his own).
Stop at the one traffic light in town, and everything looks normal. Stay awhile, and learn the truth..."
Midnight Crossroad synopsis
Because Midnight Crossroads is the first book in a trilogy of her new series, I deliberately avoided Amazon and Goodreads reviews. So I basically have no idea what this book is about other than it takes place in a dust bin Texas town with one traffic light. I know it'll include many characters, and because Charlaine Harris wrote it, they'll have funny names. I have yet to determine if it is paranormal-based, but I can count that the backbone of the plot revolves around a cozy mystery of some sort. I say that in consideration of Harris’ writing catalog. The mystery (or paranormal element) will surround a pawn shop--which sounds fun and dangerous at the same time. So I'm kind of guessing something along the lines of Stephen King’s Needful Things crossed with maybe a touch of Hulu’s original series, The Booth at the End. I'll stick with those two with a grain of salt, though.
Well, enough speculation. Midnight Crossroads will be my Friday Reads (and on forward until I finish it I suppose). While it’s ever possible to go spend time with a friend, it’ll be me, birthday cake crème flavored Oreos, and maybe one episode of Ghost Adventures tonight. Then… a cozy night of reading…
And reviewing at a later date…
Here's to a fresh start Mrs. Harris.
Have you read Midnight Crossroads? Please, no spoilers, but between 1-5 stars, what would you rate it? Better than Sookie Stackhouse, anyone? No, no. Don't answer that. (^.^)
