And suspicions are raised even further because Harper had failed to find eleven-year-old Tabitha Morgenstern when she was abducted two years before.
The police are convinced there's something fishy going on when the grave is opened to reveal the centuries-dead remains of a man, which they'd expected (that being his grave, after all) and a dead girl, which no one expected - except Harper, of course. Harper is summoned to Memphis to demonstrate her unique talent, but there are still plenty of sceptics, even as Harper stands atop a grave and announces there are two bodies buried there. A bolt of lightning struck Harper Connelly when she was 15, leaving her with a strange spider web of red on her torso and right leg, episodes of weakness, shakes and headaches - and an ability to find dead people. The police are convinced there's something fishy going on when the grave is.
I don't mind some violence, after all this is a "Mystery" series, but all the added violence just kills (pun intended) the story for me.A bolt of lightning struck Harper Connelly when she was 15, leaving her with a strange spider web of red on her torso and right leg, episodes of weakness, shakes and headaches - and an ability to find dead people. It just seems to me that Charlaine Harris is writing more & more violent stories (as was seen with the last Sookie novel) and frankly it's beginning to turn me off. I also wasn't really thrilled with all the violence and killing. I really like Harper, I like Tolliver, but I find them being a couple just creepy. More of Harper & Tolliver's past is revealed and the question of Harper's missing sister Cameron is divulged.Īlthough this is very well written and the plot contains twists & turns.parts of this were just gruesome (in my opinion). Tolliver's druggie father (who was married to Harper's mother) shows up and tries to make amends with Tolliver. Tolliver is shot as is the detective who is trying to protect her. Harper is hired by Lizzie, the daughter of a wealthy rancher, to find out more about the cause of his death.but Harper recognizes the men who accompany Lizzie from her past. Harper & Tolliver are now "officially" a couple much to the consternation of their relatives.
