Charlaine Harris
Harper Connelly had a lucky escape when she was hit by lightning: she didn't die. But sometimes she wishes she had died, because the lightning strike left her with an unusual talent: she can find dead people - and that's not always comfortable. Everyone wants to know how she does it: it's a little like hearing a bee droning inside her head, or maybe the pop of a Geiger counter, a persistent, irregular noise that increases in strength as she gets closer. It's almost electric: a buzzing all through her body, and the fresher the corpse, the more intense the buzz. Harper and her brother Tolliver make their living from finding the dead, for desperate parents, worried friends ... and police departments who have nowhere else to look. They may not believe in her abilities, but sometimes the proof is just too much for even the most sceptical of police chiefs to deny. But it's not always easy for someone like Harper, for the dead *want* to be found - and too often, finding the body doesn't bring closure; it opens a whole new can of worms.

"I wasn't sure I'd ever read another Charlaine Harris book again after the Sookie Stackhouse books. Those books really took a sharp left at Albuquerque and I swore off anything Harris for a long time. While this wasn't the most amazing book ever, it was filled with a lot of suspense, mystery, and intrigue. The characters could use a little work, but maybe they get more personality onward.<br/><br/>Sure, the I see dead people thing has been done. Over done, even. This is something a little different. Intriguing enough that I'll read the next book.<br/><br/>The only thing I'd change is the way Harris is trying to push the brother and sister angle while also setting them up for being a couple. It's a little weird."
"Charlaine Harris' stories are so creative. I really enjoyed this book."
