Welcome to Midnight, Texas. It's a quiet little town, perched at the junction between Davy Road and Witch Light Road, and it's easy to miss. With its boarded-up windows, single traffic light and sleepy air, there's nothing special about Midnight ...which is exactly how the residents like it. So when the news comes that a new owner plans to renovate the run-down, abandoned old hotel in town, it's not met with pleasure. Who would want to come to Midnight, with its handful of shops, the Home Cookin diner, and quiet residents - and why? But there are bigger problems in the air. When Manfred Bernado, the newest resident in town, is swept up in a deadly investigation suddenly the hotel and its residents are the least of the towns concern. The police, lawyers and journalists are all headed to Midnight, and it's the worst possible moment ...

A rather disappointing follow up to Night Shift. Charlaine Harris is one of my favorite author and her books are always on my top of the list search. Night Shift showed plenty of promises and Day Shift was highly anticipated. Unfortunately it was a let down. I feel that this book has too many unnecessary subplots and branch that leads to nowhere. New characters were introduced but seem unnecessary. The ending appears like a rushed job with many questions left unanswered.

Day Shift is the second book in the Midnight Texas trilogy by popular American author, Charlaine Harris. Residents of Midnight, Texas are concerned to learn that the old abandoned Rio Roca Fria Hotel is being refurbished. Someone is spending quite a bit on the renovation, and it is complete in record time, but why? Then a client of Manfred’s meets an unexpected end, and her son makes public accusations against the psychic. Reporters flock to Midnight and all the extra attention on their little (almost ghost) town is not welcomed, especially as the Rev has an unusual visitor.

While her narrative seems almost flat to begin with, Harris soon has the reader rushing through the pages as the action hots up. In this instalment, Harris expands on each of the established characters, satisfying, to some extent, the curiosity about these unusual residents that may have arisen in Midnight Crossroad. The action includes quite a few murders, telepathy, a séance, a curfew at full moon, a crazy brother, a jogging accident, several disguises, an attempted robbery, a retired Vegas mobster, a demented grandfather, an influx of fangbangers from Dallas and more than one press conference. Someone flies over the town (with wings), and someone gets killed by a wild animal. A very enjoyable read that will have fans looking forward to the next book, Night Shift.
