Welcome to Midnight, Texas, a town with many boarded-up windows and few full-time inhabitants, located at the crossing of Witch Light Road and Davy Road. It's a pretty standard dried-up western town.
There's a pawnshop (someone lives in the basement and is seen only at night). There's a diner (people who are just passing through tend not to linger). And there's 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 . . .
Interesting start to a new series by a favourite author. I liked mention of characters from other of her books. I didn't like who the murderer turned out to be (a 14 year old boy who has killed before), the solution to the problem ( killed by the vampire who lives in the basement of the pawn shop) or the characters reaction to the solution.
I'll look for the next in the series when it comes out.
