Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Ever since Harper Connelly survived a zap from a lightning bolt, she's been able to find dead people, a skill that makes the protagonist in the first installment of Harris's new series a tad more bizarre than the mind-reading heroine of the author's Sookie Stackhouse books (Dead as a Doornail, etc.). Harper travels to the Ozark town of Sarne, Ark., to find a missing teenage girl's body, accompanied by her stepbrother, Tolliver, who acts as her manager and bodyguard and with whom she shares a thinly disguised physical attraction that they manage to keep at bay by engaging in casual sex with various partners. Finding the body takes no time at all, but leaving town afterward isn't so easy. When Harper's life is threatened and Tolliver ends up in jail on trumped-up charges, it quickly becomes apparent that something sinister is going on in Sarne. Harris delivers a knuckle-gnawing tale populated with well-developed, albeit edgy characters. A nifty puzzle toward the end will challenge the most jaded mystery buffs.

From AudioFile

Ever since Harper Connelly was struck by lightning, she's been able to locate dead bodies and determine how the victims died. Now she makes her living using that gift, assisted by her stepbrother, Tolliver. However, a job in a small town in the Ozarks becomes more than she bargained for when threats are made against her. Alyssa Bresnahan's clear, youthful voice is pleasant to listen to as she brings Harper and the other characters to life with convincing accents that fit their ages and genders. Bresnahan narrates with excitement and emotion where appropriate and, in general, turns in a good performance. S.S.R. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine

4.0 out of 5 stars Good read, May 1 2009

By	wordfiendca (Toronto, Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Grave Sight (Mass Market Paperback)

I discovered Charlaine Harris after watching the first season of HBO's True Blood. I enjoyed the Sookie Stackhouse series so much that I was interested in trying out her other series.

The idea of dead people speaking to the protagonist is not new - it's been done in the Sixth Sense and the aborted TV series Tru Calling. Charlaine Harris brings a fresh spin to it. Harper travels around the country to help police forces solve crimes and bring closure to the families of the deceased. The murderers don't want their crimes brought to light so this puts Harper and her brother Tolliver in a lot of danger. The twist is that Harper treats this like a business instead of a calling and provides her services for a fee. Her logical mind is refreshing to see in a protagonist instead of the highly emotional characters that appear in many books in popular literature today. I am looking forward to reading the next books in the series.

3.0 out of 5 stars A good start to a new book series, May 27 2007

By	Babyblue Kelly "Paperback Princess" (Canada) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

This review is from: Grave Sight (Mass Market Paperback)

So I first came to reading Harris through her vampire novels, and I really enjoyed them. So when I heard she was starting a new novel series I knew I'd want to read them too.

Grave Sight is about Harper Connelly, a young woman who has the gift of finding dead bodies and knowing how they died, after being struck by lightning as a teenager. Along for the ride is her stepbrother Tolliver, who seems to be Harper's stability.

In this book they go to a small town searching for the body of a missing teenage girl. Of course that's only the begining and the two are pulled in further to the town's secrets.

Now I've heard some people think the 2nd book (Grave Surprise) is actually better than it's predecessor but I haven't read it yet. I will say that this book is a great start, Harper and Tolliver seem like interesting characters and I look forward to seeing them grow. This series seems a little more serious and darker than the Sookie Stackhouse series but it has it's own charms. I will keep on w/ this series now as well.

4.0 out of 5 stars Another quirky mystery, Jan 25 2006

By	Annie R (Kingston, Canada) - See all my reviews

Charlaine Harris's Grave Sight is a quirky mystery combining a paranormal southern gothic with a decent whodunnit story. A fan of her Stookie Stackhouse and Lily Bard series, I found that she again has created a protaganist who is both strong and vulnerable, victim and hero, likeable but with flaws. The mystery is a straight forward murder mystery with just enough red herrings to keep from being obvious. The jewel in this story however is the paranormal skills of the protaganist and how they unfold throughout the book that lifts it beyond a run of the mill whodunnit. I look forward to another story about Harper Connelly and her intriguing brother.
