Southern vamps

Any True Blood fans here? If so, you might want to read the books which are the basis for the TV show.

I haven't started on Sookie yet; I've been reading author Charlaine Harris's other series, of which there are three. Aurora Teagarden is an ex-librarian in the little town of Lawrenceton, a suburb of Atlanta. Crime seems to follow her around. These are pretty light-hearted books in the cozy tradition. I've read all but two, and those are in transit at the library.

Harper Connelly appears in three books; she's much darker than Aurora. When she was eleven she was struck by lightning; that bestowed on her the dubious ability to find dead bodies and the way each died. She's earning a living by using her talent on behalf of grieving families and law enforcement agencies. I've read all of them.

The third series features Lily Bard, who runs a single-woman cleaning business in Shakespeare, Arkansas and studies karate on the side. I've requested the first book from the library.
