Charlaine Harris: Grave Surprise

"This is the second installment to Grave Sight, its even better than the first one".

When I was fifteen, I was struck by a bolt of lightning through an open window of the trailer where we lived...I recovered, mostly. I have a strange spider web pattern of red on my torso and right leg, which has episodes of weaknesses. Sometimes my right hand shakes I have headaches, I have many fears. And I can find dead people. That was the part that interested the professor…

At the request of anthropology professor Dr. Clyde Nunley, Harper Connelly and her stepbrother Tolliver come to Memphis to give a demonstration of Harper’s unique talent. And what better place to have that demonstration than in a very old cemetery?

Dr.Nunley doesn’t bother to hid his skepticism, especially when Harper stands atop a grave and senses two bodies beneath her—one of a centuries dead man and the other of a young girl, recently deceased. When the grave is opened, Harper’s claim is proven true. The dead girl is Tabitha Morgenstern, an eleven-year-old abducted from Nashville two years previously—a child whom Harper had tried, and failed, to find. The coincidence raises suspicions about her among the police—so she and Tolliver undertake their own hunt to find the killer. They make a nocturnal visit to the cemetery, hoping that Harper can sense something further about the murder.

And then, the next morning, a third dead body is found in the grave...
 
Have you read her Southern Vampire series? Is this better, worse or similar? I thought I would enjoy those books, but found myself skimming through the first one. I just thought it was boring and tedious. Would be interested in hearing if these are better.
 
her southern vampire series weren't her best work in my opinion. but this series is definitely worth a look at. there a great read.

but its a really great book, just give it a try.
 
I might have a look at this series - I have read four of the Southern Vampire series' and I must admit, I loved them. I've never looked for any of her other stuff.
 
Finally! I've found people that read Charlaine Harris!! IMO the Harper Connelly series is the most interesting...in that it's weird and strange. But I am in love with all of her works, especially the Aurora Teagarden Mysteries. If you haven't read those, then please please do.
