Product Description

Product Description

A bolt of lightning struck Harper Connelly when she was 15, leaving her with a strange spider web of red on her torso and right leg, episodes of weakness, shakes and headaches - and an ability to find dead people. Harper is summoned to Memphis to demonstrate her unique talent, but there are still plenty of sceptics, even as Harper stands atop a grave and announces there are two bodies buried there. The police are convinced there's something fishy going on when the grave is opened to reveal the centuries-dead remains of a man, which they'd expected (that being his grave, after all) and a dead girl, which no one expected - except Harper, of course. And suspicions are raised even further because Harper had failed to find eleven-year-old Tabitha Morgenstern when she was abducted two years before. Harper and Tolliver need to find the real killer to prove Harper's innocence, especially after their nocturnal visit to the cemetery in hopes that Harper can sense something more is followed by the discovery, the following morning, of a third dead body in the grave . . .

5.0 out of 5 stars Love this series, 14 Sep 2007
By K. Chee "book lover" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Grave Surprise (Harper Connelly Mysteries) (Hardcover)
A wonderful series. Harper Connelly is not your usual kick ass heroine. She is quieter and more vulnerable. Has had lots of knocks in life as a child and has now come to rely heavily on her older stepbrother Tolliver, who saved her life after she was hit by lightning by giving her CPR. The lightning strike triggered her paranormal abilities. She is able to find dead bodies and identify the cause of death accurately. Tolliver and she are both products of parental neglect and the family were broken up by social workers when Cameron, one of her sisters disappeared when Harper was 17. For several years now the two have been on the road travelling, operating a business to find and identify dead bodies for relatives. This often puts them in danger if the cause of death is murder. The relationship between Harper and Tolliver is evolving, both feeling the need now to settle down, buy a house and lay down roots. Their emotional dependence on each other has blossomed into love and attraction, at least on Harper's side. ( We don't know yet how Tolliver feels but he is very protective of her. Hopefully this will be revealed in An Ice Cold Grave, the third book in the series coming soon.) I love the way Harper and Tolliver are so much in tune mentally, and their loyalty to each other is absolute. Harper is a very realistic, perceptive person and she carries the book. The feel of this series is very different from the Sookie series in a more subdued, reflective way which is equally if not more so, enthralling. People who have not discovered this series, you don't know what you're missing. It's one of my all time favourites.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent follow-on, 4 Dec 2007
By Michael Watson "skirrow22" (Halifax, England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
Story 2 in the 'Grave' series sees Harper Connelly and her 'brother' Tolliver Lang called in to determine the reasons for the deaths of various bodies in a town cemetary. No problem there for Harper, except during this visit she locates the body of a missing teenager previously mentioned in the first book 'Grave Sight' - and it's in a 200 year-old grave!
Hardly before the local police can suggest Harper and Tolliver had some ulterior motive for suddenly finding the girl's body, a third corpse is found in the same grave!
And, as in all Charlaine Harris's novels, there is plenty of action and mystery as the two try to establish the reasons for the deaths of the two recent bodies. Murder and mayhem are the usual bywords and I'm happy to to await the pending arrival of 'Ice Cold Grave', the third in the series. You can put Sookie to oneside now; Harper is definitely a stand-alone hero - not forgetting Tolliver, of course.

4.0 out of 5 stars unfinished business, 18 Oct 2008
By Lindymck (Falkirk, Scotland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Grave Surprise (Gollancz S.F.) (Paperback)
carrying on from where the first book ended we are in memphis and harper discovers a body in an old grave. the only thing is the body is new and belongs to tabitha, who harper failed to find 18 months ago. so when a third body is found in the grave harper and tolliver investigate and discover who killed them both. great twist at the end as i didnt see it coming but all the signs are there! unusual heroine but that makes it work, an improvement on the first book as i couldnt put it down oncei got sucked into the story.
