Product Description
The author of the bestselling Sookie Stackhouse books embarks upon a new series with this paranormal romantic mystery. Harper Connelly's strange ability to locate dead bodies and intuit the cause of death has proven a lucrative line of work, but it hasn't made her popular. She certainly feels less than welcome in the small Ozark town of Sarne, Arkansas, where wealthy matron Sybil Teague hires her to find the missing girlfriend of Teague's dead teenage son. Nevertheless, when she actually finds the girl's body, it becomes clear that the local sheriff is willing to go to considerable lengths to ensure that Harper extends her stay, forcing her to determine what other secrets--and unquiet dead--lie buried in Sarne.

 Loved it--wish there were more September 2, 2010
Frantic Reader
From other reviews, I see that people who love the Sookie Stackhouse mysteries don't like these books. On the other hand, I love the Harper Connelly series and can't stand the vampire series. Possibly that's because the series are so different that they expect Harper to be more like Sookie whereas I was hoping for a character and book as interesting at the"grave" series. Doesn't mean one is better than that other--although Sookie far outsells Harper and, with the success of Sookie, there are no more books about Harper. Just four and I love them all.
I suggest readers start reading these books with an open mind. These are NOT about Sookie and can be enjoyable if you read them as they are written.
 Not nearly as good as the Sookie Stackhouse Series but still worth the read August 16, 2010

I did not really know what to expect with this series. After reading the Twilight Series and the Sookie Stackhouse Series, I thought I would never come to like another series. While this series is not nearly as good, it was still pretty entertaining. Charlaine Harris has a great imagination! I would have never expected a sixth sense as finding dead people. Good read overall.
 Snoozzzzz August 3, 2010

One thing that I have to say is that it is a fast read. Besides that the book is a total letdown. First off, I kept reading it thinking it is going to get more interesting but sadly it did not. The characters are extremely uninteresting and undeveloped. The main character was hit by lightening at a young age and now can sense the dead. Besides that, that is truly all we learn about her. Oh and she has a strange fascination with her brother. Then the book takes place in the most boring town that sets the backdrop for the whole book. And lastly, you know who did it from the very beginning but you keep reading in order to find out why he did it. And the reason on why he did it is not even that plausible. I am truly sad to say that I read this book.
Great Service July 31, 2010

Thank you for my books. I am very happy with the turn out with the delivery. The books seemed like they were practically brand new...even though I bought them used.
 Disturbing - Didn't even finish July 15, 2010

OK - You have read the reviews and know what this book is about. However, I found it rather disturbing, and then when I read something (you will read below) I just put it down and I was done. I read ALOT and love mysteries. I kept hearing about this author and requested this book at the library and began to read immediately. As I kept reading, I got more and more disturbed with this character, Harper. Here are some examples.
First of all, the relationship she has with her stepbrother is CREEPY! My husband has a twin sister and I kept reading excerpts from the book to him regarding this relationship. His response was laughter and a WOW. Just one example is- and remember this is her stepbrother! - "I loved hugging Tolliver, who was bony and hard and warm. I loved to listen to the air going in and out of his lungs, the swoosh of his heart." They call each other honey and really have a creepy relationship in my book.
Another thing that bothers me is her nonchalant attitude about the dead. This bothered me - she was talking about her worst dead find, which was a baby. then she said, "But mostly it's not so bad, Mostly it's girls who don't come home, or older people who run away. Sometimes abducted kids - " REALLY! That's not so bad !!!! She is a freak!!!
And here was the part of the book that made me stop reading this garbage.
She was jogging and 3 guys in a truck pull up, block her way and get out of the truck. She asks them if they are going to rape her - they say No and this is what she thinks in her head. 'Of course real men should be ready to have any sort of sex, any time. So if they didn't want to rape me, I must not be desirable'. (p. 113) SERIOUSLY !!!!!!!!!! ????? !!!
I won't be reading any more of her trash !!
