Review: Odd Thomas - Again

First, you have to know who Odd Thomas is.  When I first met him he was, and still claims to be, a very likable, humble 21-year-old short-order cook from a diner in the desert.  He was able to see ghosts as they appeared to him, his first being Elvis, before he apparently moved on.  The ghosts never talk to him but appear at times which leads Odd Thomas in the right directions somehow.  The ghost in this story is a dog.  This series of Odd Interlude #1, #2 and #3 are all really one book.  I hate being taken in like this but I'm a sucker for Odd Thomas.  These/this episode takes place in Harmony Grove where Thomas has arrived with a young pregnant girl-hitchhiker in a big Mercedes Benz loaned to him from a friend in the last book.  Harmony Grove is a family-owned resort of sorts which includes a restaurant, a gas station, a motel and houses owned and lived in by the various members of the family.  All very involved and convoluted involving a 12-year-old girl (who falls in love with Thomas) and the evilness from the big house on the hill. Of course, the Odd One conquers all - again and ambles on to his next adventure.
