Publisher's Summary

Grave Sight draws listeners into the intriguing world of Harper Connelly, a woman with a unique gift: she can "see" the deceased and how they died.

A teenage girl from a small Ozarks town is missing and feared dead. Hired by local police, Harper locates the girl's body in a nearby forest. But there's more than one corpse in those woods, and the second one raises questions no one wants to ask. Soon Harper and her stepbrother/assistant, Tolliver, are under suspicion. All they want is to get out of town, but they will have to clear their reputations first.

Charlaine Harris writes best-selling mysteries described by Booklist as "gripping and spicy", and praised by the Denver Post for their "goofy charm".

What the Critics Say

"A strong debut that will have readers dying for more." (Booklist)
"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." (Publishers Weekly)

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. (c) AudioFile 2007

This series has an interesting character with an unusual talent. It's a nice change from all the supernatural creature novels. I don't like this series as well as the Sookie Stackhouse series, however, Charlaine Harris still does a good job of entertaining her readers. Good mystery!

This is not any great but not a bad story either. It was interesting somewhat, but the reader read it like she was reading it. Very short and curt in a lot of places that made this story get a 3 instead of a 4. The twist was good, Maybe someone else got the who dunit quicker than I. I didn't get it before the last 2 chapters.

This was the second in the Harper Connolly series I have "read". I messed up in the order, but it didn't make a ton of difference. Since I so loved the Sookie Stackhouse mysteries, I was excited about starting this series. It took be just a bit to get into the story, but the storyline was good,Harper's "gift" is so unusual, the characters well developed and I had a hard time stopping the listen. I basically listened to it non-stop. The narration was the only problem I had as I felt it was too unemotional and made the main character seem very bland. It also made the relationship between Harper and her brother seemed strained, although based on the book that is not the case. The humorous remarks in the story had little emotion due to the narration. All in all, I would recommend this book and the series. It was very enjoyable and I loved the premise!
