Book Reviews of Grave Secret (Harper Connelly Mysteries, Book 4)

Book Review: Couldn't put it down
Summary: 5 Stars

A victim of a lightning strike when she was 15, Harper Connelly can sense the dead and determine cause of death. She uses this unusual ability to earn a living, with her stepbrother/now-lover, Tolliver Lang, as her assistant.

This time, they're in Texas, not far from where they spent a traumatic childhood with drug-addicted parents (her mother and his father) until Harper's sister Cameron disappeared and the family was split. The trauma of their adolescence, their trying to keep the family together, Cameron's disappearance, and the loss of their younger half-sisters informs Harper's thoughts and is woven tightly into the narrative.

Harper has been called by the grandchildren of a wealthy Texas rancher to discover what led to his death eight years ago. While walking in the cemetery, she discovers the grave of a young woman, the rancher's caregiver, who died in childbirth shortly before the rancher did. She also discovers how the grandfather died.

But Harper and Tolliver are not just in town for work; they want to try to forge a tie with Harper's aunt Iona (her mother's sister), her husband Hank, and their two half-sisters. They also want to inform the family that they are now a couple, something their family looks at with disgust.

Also complicating matters is the fact that Tolliver's brother Mark informs then that their father has been released from prison and wants to try to reestablish contact with his children. Soon Harper and Tolliver discover a tie between his father and the wealthy family in Texas.

"Grave Secret" fleshes out the backstory of the Connelly/Lang saga and Cameron's disappearance and reveals her ultimate fate, a revelation that shocks both Harper and Tolliver to the core. It's sad that the series would be ending here--I'd like to see more adventures with Harper and Tolliver and see if her life is changed as a result of these revelations.

Summary of Grave Secret (Harper Connelly Mysteries, Book 4)

New in the series from New York Times bestselling author of the Sookie Stackhouse novels.

Lightning-struck sleuth Harper Connelly and her stepbrother Tolliver take a break from looking for the dead to visit the two little girls they both think of as sisters. But, as always happens when they travel to Texas, memories of their horrible childhood resurface.

To make matters worse, Tolliver learns from his older brother that their father is out of jail and trying to reestablish contact with other family members. Tolliver wants no part of the man- but he may not have a choice in the matter.

Soon, family secrets ensnare them both, as Harper finally discovers what happened to her missing sister, Cameron, so many years before.

And what she finds out will change her world forever.
