Grave Sight is the first of four novels in the Harper Connelly Mysteries by author Charline Harris. The main character Harper Connelly was struck by lighting as a teen and though she survived she gained the ability to feel the location of dead people. She and her step brother Tolliver Lang have gone to Sarne a small town in the Ozark mountains to find the body of a missing teenage girl. They get swept up in a secret, lies, and murder. Harper, still suffering from the trauma of her youth, and the fear of lighting, is forced to stay in the small town trying to find answers to the murders while her brother gets thrown in jail on trumped up charges.
This is the third series I have read from Harris and while I flew through the book and will read the next one, I did not enjoy it as much as the Shakespeare or Dead series. The relationship between Harper and her step brother is strong as the survivors of neglect and abuse; some may even see sexual tension. While I am not much for mysteries this was the first one I have read where I figured it out well before the middle of the book and no twist or turn changed my mind or proved me wrong.
