Title :Grave Sight
Author: Charlaine Harris
release:10/04/2005
Genre: Paranormal suspense
Accompanied by her stepbrother, Tolliver (who works as her manager), Harper heads to small-town Arkansas for their next job. Her client is a socialite named Sybil Teague, who wants Harper to find a teenage girl who disappeared on the day her son was found shot dead in the woods. The girl, Monteen "Teenie" Hopkins, has a reputation for being "wild as a razorback," and scandalous rumors abound about the two. But once Harper locates Teenie's corpse a short distance from the spot where Sybil's son died and reveals that she was shot in the back while trying to escape, the real trouble starts. As more town residents begin to turn up dead -- and with her brother in jail on bogus charges -- Harper must find the real killer before she becomes his next victim.
Review:
After reading the True blood series three times, I was quite dissapointed with Grave sight. While I liked Harper and Tolliver, I found their relationship strange through most of the book. I hated the town and diliked all the secondary characters.
Harper's gift was very interesting but the fact that no one in the town seemed interested in so many murders happening in one small town was hard to believe. All anyone seemed to care about was how much they disliked Harper. It was a bit hard to keep track of how the whole town was related so I just let it go. The motive was kind of thin and lastly, I found I was totally taken out of the story but a confession of murder that was so easy it was really unbelievable. All that said I will give the Harper series on more chance with Grave Suprise.
Cover:
Im not a fan of the cartoonish covers. This one however isn't bad.
