Lightning strikes
It’s only the last moments she experiences: the fear, dismay, pain, or even the cries for their mothers before they die. Harper Connelly has been blessed or cursed with this skill after being hit by lightning when she was fifteen. Now, as an adult she makes her living finding the lost loved ones that are presumed dead. Her stepbrother Tolliver is her agent and protector. Most assume she’s a fake and that she takes advantage of desperate people. Professor, Clyde Nunley decides to debunk Harper and invites her to an old cemetery where she can describe the dead and their deaths. At the last grave she finds two bodies, not one. One is supposed to be there but the other is a young girl, Tabitha, who Harper had looked for months before. The police don’t believe in her talent or the coincidence of finding Tabitha. This moves Harper and her brother onto the suspects list and they can’t leave town. Unfortunately, Harper’s next visit to the cemetery turns up another murder victim and this one is still fresh. In Grave Surprise by Charlaine Harris, Harper must solve the case before they end up in jail. This is the second book about her adventures, and the first book is Grave Sight. Harris has other mystery series and is the author of the Southern Vampire Series with Sookie Stackhouse. Grave Surprise has a darker tone than some of her other books but is still just as entertaining.
