She was thought to have been killed by her boyfriend, Dell, who then committed suicide, and to some extent this small town is content to believe that lie, until Dell’s mother Sybil brings the truth out into the open when she hires Harper to find the young girl, Teenie. In this novel, Harper and Tolliver come to Sarne to find the body of a young girl, long since dead. Her writing is filled with restraint, and there is a sense of loneliness through her words that is engrossing. She travels with Tolliver, her step-brother, and Harris has created an intimate, sad and lonely world for the two of them, even as the strength these siblings draw from one another is palpable. She feels them to an extent too, and it’s how she makes her living – solving cases, giving people closure by telling them how their loved ones have died. Harper senses how dead bodies not dead people or ghosts, she senses where the dead are buried and how they’ve passed. I don’t know why – I know the show ( True Blood) is popular, the books too, but it’s not something that grabbed me.Īnd yet, here I am reviewing Grave Sight, Harris’ Harper Connelly series and I’m completely and utterly in love with it. While Charlaine Harris is more renowned for her Sookie Stackhouse series, I’ve, yes you’ve guessed it, steered away from it. Grave Sight Harper Connelly, Book #1 By Charlaine Harris ISBN# 978-0425212899 Website: īrought to you by Guest reviewer Verushka
