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".

Critic reviews

"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)

Not bad

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

I would. It was a new concept and I liked Harper's voice.

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

I figured out the ending- all of it- pretty early. Not that everyone else would.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

I don't know if the mic was too close of what, but I heard every page turn, every time she swallowed, every thing her mouth did. I couldn't listen to this wearing headphones.

Was Grave Sight worth the listening time?

I enjoyed it overall. And have already continued the series

Unimpressed

The premise sounded like a good idea -- a girl who gets struck by lightning and is left, along with some physical problems, the ability to locate dead bodies. The reader was okay when reading the female characters, but she wasn't able to do a good job with the male characters. The plot line had too many twists and turns and involved so many people who lived and worked in the small town, with a built-in prejudice about these people in this particular state, that I got confused as to which character was which -- especially when so many of them sounded alike due to the reader's vocalizations. I will not be trying any more of the books in this series.

I don't recommend this book, because I think there's many others out there that are much more enjoyable and that you'd want to keep in your library to listen to again and again.

Excellent

The narrator definitely adds a new depth to this book. I had already read it before in paperback, enjoying it immensely. However the narrator really adds to the content by adding more complexity to the characters than my mental voice did.

Good story.

great book with a great narrator
I look forward to the next book in the series.

Love Charlaine!

This is another very creative idea from Charlaine Harris. Keeps you guessing till the end. Can't wait to read more!

A good read

My first time reading Charlaine Harris. I was looking for someone like Terri Reid. I still haven't found them yet, but I'm looking. I did like the narrator. It could have had a bit more scary parts to the story. I like a scary!!!! It was a good read and I'm about to listen to book two of the series.

Unique Talent

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I love paranormal mysteries and this was no exception. A unique talent and relationships kept me guessing the whole time. I was entertained.

Not the Charmaine Harris I was used to

I am really disappointed. There was just so much rambling. Not worth it. Stick with Sookie Stackhouse
