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!

This story did not have the spark and sizzle of the other Harris books I’ve read. I think it’s because I’ve come to expect such fearless fortitude of her characters, as she wrote in the Sookie Stackhouse stories. Harper Connelly is a character battered by life, and her trepidation at every obstacle in her path does grate on the nerves. That being said, Charlaine Harris is an excellent writer and can do no wrong in her ability to weave a mystery. I might not have loved this story, but I DID like it. I plan to read the others in the series.
