All Together Dead by Charlaine Harris 04/24/08

This is the first of the Southern Vampire series that I listened to on audio.  It was weird, frankly.  The narrator’s voice was nothing like I imagined Sookie.

The general story:  Sookie is off to Chicago with Queen Sophie and the rest of the Louisiana vamps for a vampire summit.  QS is going to be on trial for killing her husband, which she did not do.  Sookie is going to read the minds of the humans to help QS decide who’s up to what. 

Sookie tries to balance being with Quinn, avoiding Eric and Bill and doing here work for Queen Sophie.  While they are there, other vampires wind up dead, humans have all kinds of problems and there is a group of anti-vampire protesters causing problems.  Actually, fairly big problems.  Sookie winds up letting humans see that she is a telepath, which winds up causing her big problems.

This was probably my favorite of the Southern Vampire series.  The storyline was attention getting and there were more developed relationships with Sookie and Quinn and Eric.
