Local law enforcement is clueless, corrupt, or both, and the populace is increasingly hostile, so of course Harper has to solve the murder herself so that they can get the hell out of there. Harper easily tracks down the girl's body, but she has barely cashed the check before a fresh murder occurs, forcing her to stay in town until cleared of involvement. ![]() Harper and her brother Tolliver make a living doing freelance search and recovery as the book opens, they arrive in a small Ozark mountain town where they've been hired to find a teenage girl who is missing and presumed dead. She can tell if a person was murdered, but not by whom, because otherwise it would be a very short book. Grave Sight is the first book in a new mystery series about Harper Connelly, who has the unlikely ability to find corpses and sense how they died. She excels at writing about working-class Southerners in small towns. Her books are lightweightīut addictive, with swift pacing and absorbing first-person narration. She's best known to SF readers as the author of the Sookie Stackhouse books about a small-town psychic with a vampire boyfriend, but I've also enjoyed her mystery series. I read everything by Charlaine Harris that I can get my hands on. Charlaine Harris: Grave Sight Epiphyte Book Review ![]()
