Charlaine Harris is already a star and a New York Times bestseller with her vampire mysteries starring Sookie Stackhouse and her Lily Bard mysteries. This second installment to her new supernatural mystery series might just be her biggest hit yet. Grave Sight’s Harper Connelly is back, and her ability to find the dead and see their last moments is in higher demand than ever…
A college class gets more than it bargained for when Harper gives a demonstration of her uncanny talent. Instead of just finding one body in an old grave, she finds two: the original occupant and a recently deceased girl whom Harper had tried, and failed, to find two years previously. To dispel suspicions about her own innocence, Harper and her stepbrother Tolliver undertake their own hunt to find the killer-only to find yet another body in the same grave.
A tasty bite from Charlaine Harris:
1. You can start here.
I did. I thought this was book one in a new series. Nowhere on the cover does it say it’s a sequel, but I had no problems catching on. What’s more–until I went to Goodreads after reading, I still hadn’t noticed it was a sequel.
And they sell it at Walgreens!
2. Great main character Harper.
I like her.
She’s controlled, but that doesn’t mean she isn’t haunted by the things she’s seen. She works to help people, even if she doesn’t get much respect. She’s chosen not to care.
3. Refreshingly different.
Although I love the show True Blood, I got a little tired of Harris’ Sookie Stackhouse series. I didn’t like how the show and books had different characters and plots.
There’s a family looking for a lost child. they hired Harper a year ago, and she couldn’t find them. When Harper finds her in the middle of another job, she is caught in the middle of the questions.
4. Escapist.
This is a book to eat. It’s all well written, not it’s not cerebral.
