Charlaine Harris is a member of the Mystery Writers of America and the American Crime Writers League. A nifty puzzle toward the end will challenge the most jaded mystery buffs. There are four Harper titles (Grave Sight, Grave Surprise, An Ice Cold Grave and Grave Secret). Harris delivers a knuckle-gnawing tale populated with well-developed, albeit edgy characters. When Harper's life is threatened and Tolliver ends up in jail on trumped-up charges, it quickly becomes apparent that something sinister is going on in Sarne. Finding the body takes no time at all, but leaving town afterward isn't so easy. Harper travels to the Ozark town of Sarne, Ark., to find a missing teenage girl's body, accompanied by her stepbrother, Tolliver, who acts as her manager and bodyguard and with whom she shares a thinly disguised physical attraction that they manage to keep at bay by engaging in casual sex with various partners. Ever since Harper Connelly survived a zap from a lightning bolt, she's been able to find dead people, a skill that makes the protagonist in the first installment of Harris's new series a tad more bizarre than the mind-reading heroine of the author's Sookie Stackhouse books ( Dead as a Doornail Books in this series (3 books) Hide books you have in your Kindle library 1 Midnight Crossroad (A Novel of Midnight, Texas Book 1) by Charlaine Harris (Author) (9,792) Take a trip to the small Texas town where only outsiders fit in with the first novel in 1 New York Times bestselling author Charlaine Harris’ paranormal mystery series.
