and police departments who have nowhere else to look. Harper and her brother Tolliver make their living from finding the dead, for desperate parents, worried friends. It's almost electric: a buzzing all through her body, and the fresher the corpse, the more intense the buzz. Everyone wants to know how she does it: it's a little like hearing a bee droning inside her head, or maybe the pop of a Geiger counter, a persistent, irregular noise that increases in strength as she gets closer. But sometimes she wishes she had died, because the lightning strike left her with an unusual talent: she can find dead people - and that's not always comfortable. The story line was usually interesting, and I didn't get whodunit before the end.Harper Connelly had a lucky escape when she was hit by lightning: she didn't die. Perhaps I'll understand their relationship better as I read more of the series. There were times when his character seemed like a distraction to the story, and it frustrated me when Connelly seemed emotionally dependent on him. I'm still trying to see what Harper Connelly's stepbrother, Tolliver, really adds to the series. The impatience, when it happens, seems to come at the crass remarks of ill-mannered clients, people who pay her to find a dead body but are uncomfortable with it for a variety of reasons. The author has the Harper Connelly character handle this ability with mostly grace and professionalism, and sometimes with impatience that's understandable. I read a review that compared this book series to the television show, 'Medium,' and I can see that now. I was intrigued by the main character, Harper Connelly, and her ability of find dead people-which she does for a living. (I've already read a couple of titles from her Lily Bard series, and enjoyed them as well.) This book has been a fun vacation ready, and I'm glad to be introduced to this series by Charlaine Harris. A nifty puzzle toward the end will challenge the most jaded mystery buffs.”-Publishers Weekly Read more

“Harris delivers a knuckle-gnawing tale populated with well-developed, albeit edgy characters. The pun in the title is only the first dose of a potion that is sure to put every listener under Grave Sight’s spell. All they want is to get out of town, but they will have to clear their reputations first. Soon Harper and her assistant, her stepbrother Tolliver, are under suspicion. But there’s more than one corpse in those woods, and the second one raises questions no one wants to ask. Hired by local police, Harper locates the girl’s body in a nearby forest. A teenage girl missing from a small Ozarks town is feared dead. Charlaine Harris writes best-selling mysteries described by Booklist as “gripping and spicy,” and praised by the Denver Post for their “goofy charm.” Grave Sight draws listeners into the intriguing world of Harper Connelly, a woman with a unique gift: she can “see” the dead and how they died.
