Very different and original take on finding dead people! I have loved everything I have read of Charlaine Harris so far and this one is no exception.

Came across these books when I finished reading the last of the Sookie Stackhouse series. I'm just not overly impressed... I find the relationship between the two main characters to be odd and somewhat offputting, the plot was convoluted and clunky, and the books lack the joi de vivre of the Sookie series. There's no humor, no lightness in this book, and the main character carries a perpetual storm cloud of doom and gloom about her, which may be understandable given her background, but does not make for fun reading.

A solidly enjoyable romantic suspense novel that gets the balance between those two things just right (for my tastes anyway). The suspense is definitely the priority here and the story is enjoyably gripping, with a psychic investigator unravelling a complex mystery in a small Ozarks town. Heroine Harper is an interesting central character, but it’s the twisting plot that’s the star and Charlaine Harris does a good job of keeping you guessing. The romance was decent too!

Quick read, but not a fan. At all. Definitely won't be reading the other books in this series!

I started this book a long time ago and I didn't get far about half way I think. I put it down for some reason and I decided to pick it up and start again. I liked it. It has its quirks but it still an enjoyable read. I really like Harper I find her to be an unusual character, very different from your standard lead female ladys. I find her relationship with her Brother to be a bit odd but it works with the whole flow of the story. A great mystery though I predicted what was going to happen before it did. I am going to read the next one and see what happens with Harper and Tolliver.
