Charlaine Harris acknowledges that you can't tie up every character's story in the "world" of a book series, in the last book. To satisfy fans curiosity about other characters in the series, she created this coda. Characters are listed alphabetically from the Ancient Pythoness to Bethany Zanelli and each have a short synopsis of their life after book 13.
The book also features extensive interior art by acclaimed artist Lisa Desimini, including a Sookieverse Alphabet, color endpapers, and several full-page black and white interior illustrations.

A fun read from the creator of the Sookie Stackhouse series, Aurora Teagarden series and other supernatural mysteries. Midnight, Texas is a very small town with the few businesses lining Davy Road and situated at the crossing of Witch Light Road. It is a small, old, western town. But newcomer, Manfred Bernardo is happy with the quiet location and the locals who keep mostly to themselves. There's a small diner and a gas station but you have to drive into Davy to find a grocery store and most other services.
Everything starts out quiet and friendly enough, but a gathering for a picnic just outside of town reveals a murder. Now the county sheriff and other out of town people are snooping around and the local residents do not appreciate any digging into their past. They all have something to hide, but who is a murderer?
