Synopsis

Southern mystery writer Charlaine Harris is the New York Times bestselling author of Grave Sight and the Sookie Stackhouse series. Supernatural curiosities, finely wrought characters, and unpredictable plotting combine in this exciting whodunit.

Twenty-something Harper Connelly has a gift. After being struck by lightning as a child, she discovered an eerie ability to locate the deceased. In Memphis, skeptical Professor Nunley wants her to demonstrate that skill at an ancient cemetery.

There Harper stands atop a grave and says there are two bodies entombed: one centuries old, but the other, a young girl named Tabitha. Her assertion holds water. Tabitha has been missing for two years—and now the police are suspicious of Harper. So with her loyal stepbrother Tolliver, Harper begins to amass clues that will solve the case.

Harris’ expert pacing builds the suspense as two young sleuths navigate a string of strange occurrences that has others scratching their heads.

Goodreads review by Vintage on May 28, 2019

Great series. I tried the Sookie series as well as Aurora Teagarden and they just didn’t do anything for me. Charlaine Harris’ Harper Connelly series is an edgier read. Harper was hit by lightning as a teen and can now identify the dead. Harper and her stepbrother Tolliver now travel the United Stat......more

Now Harper and her manager/stepbrother/best friend Tolliver use her talent to make a living. At the request of Professor Clyde Nunley, Harper and Tolliver tra......more

Goodreads review by Choco on June 08, 2023

Oye, pues me gustó más que el anterior en el que los protagonistas me habían parecido particularmente poco carismáticos. No sé si porque los voy conociendo más, ya no pienso lo mismo. Con un arranque sorprendente y una entrada en materia muy buena. Los personajes implicados también son más interesan......more
