All Together Dead by Charlaine Harris

This novel takes place post-Katrina, during a summit of vampires. Sookie has been asked to attend as an employee of the Queen of Louisiana to use her telepathy to aid the Queen in overcoming the trial she's facing and other matters.

This book bothered me a little as I felt Harris had re-written the original plans for this novel to incorporate a post-Katrina Louisiana. No other book had more than a few weeks time period between books, but this book has the longest time-jump, about 6 months between the last novel and this one. Not to mention that two previous novels referenced the summit taking place in March. The delay of the summit is explained logically in this novel, but I still feel like Harris was trying to make a profit from incorporating Katrina into the novel. This probably isn't the case at all, that's just how I felt about it as I was reading it.
