Publisher's Summary

Twenty-something Harper Connelly has a gift. After being struck by lighting as a child, she discovered an eerie ability to locate the deceased.

In Memphis, skeptical Professor Nunley wants her to demonstrate her skill at an ancient cemetery. There, Harper stands atop a grave and says there are two bodies entombed: one centuries old, but the other, a young girl named Tabitha.

Her assertion holds water. Tabitha has been missing for two years - and now the police are suspicious of Harper. So with her loyal stepbrother, Tolliver, Harper begins to amass clues that will solve the case.

And hear more from the Harper Connelly series!

From AudioFile

Lightning strikes have different effects on people, and on Harper Connelly the effect is an ability to find corpses and understand how they were killed. She is invited to explore a cemetery by a Memphis college professor who believes everything related to the paranormal is a fraud. As she makes her way through the cemetery, she comes across a surprise--the body of Tabitha, a young girl she was hired to find 18 months earlier when the girl disappeared in Nashville. Alyssa Bresnahan gives a low-key performance that makes Harper a believable and sensitive character. Bresnahan's steady intensity brings the suspense to the fore without overstatement.

I have read all the Sookie books and figured these would be just as good. It's not.

Although I'm a fan of the Sookie Stackhouse novels, I can't recommend this one. First, I really didn't care for the narrator, I found her voice unpleasant and her inflections monotonous. I would never buy another book by the same narrator. The novel itself was so-so, the characters weren't very fully developed and you can see the answer to the mystery a long way off.

I really liked this story, it has interesting and likeable characters, kept me guessing and the narrator was easy to listen to. I will definately read the other books in the series and even added a Sookie Stackhous book to my wish list. I am not a paranormal fan so don't let that scare you away.

I had high hopes for this book. A psychic who finds dead bodies. However, it's plain boring. No suspense whatsoever. Completely unrealistic characters. Amazingly bland. I don't recommend it.
