Book Reviews of Grave Surprise (Harper Connelly Mysteries, Book 2)
Book Review: A mystery with grave consequences.
Summary: 5 Stars
Harper Connelly was struck by lightning when she was fifteen. Her heart stopped. For a brief period of time she was caught between the living and the dead. CPR brought her back to life, but from that day on she was tied to the world of the dead. She was drawn to where they lay, and when she connected with them, Harper knew how they died. She liked to think of her skill as a gift, at least it gave her the means to make a living. She traveled around the country with her step-brother Tolliver to help find lost people and determine how they died.
Grave Surprise is the second book in the Harper Connelly series. It contains a touch of the paranormal, a bit of dark humor, and a huge murder mystery. In this episode, Harper and Tolliver are in Memphis. Harper has been asked to demonstrate her paranormal abilities for an anthropology class studying myths, legends, and the paranormal. The professor was intent on exposing her as a fraud, but the plan backfired. Harper identified the bodies beneath the tombstones and told the class how they died. Everything was going smoothly until she stepped on the last gravesite. It contained not one body, but two and the second body belonged to Tabitha Morgenstern, a missing girl, Harper searched for the year before. The situation is further complicated when the professor is found dead.
There are plenty of suspects to go around. The police were taking a hard look at Victor, Tabitha's half-brother. A private investigator and a FBI agent were pointing the finger at Harper and Tolliver, and Harper and Tolliver thought the rest of the Morgenstern family bore looking into.
Charlaine Harris is a gifted writer. Grave Surprise is a wonderful mystery with an eclectic collection of concepts and ideas. Harris touches on the paranormal phenomena, parent-child relationships, anti-Semitism, and plays homage to all lightning strike survivors. Her characters, even the minor ones were multidimensional. Their descriptions, actions, and attitudes demanded a response from the reader. Once I started reading the book, I couldn't put it down. I'm looking forward to the next book in the Harper Connelly series.
