Grave Sight, the first book in the Harper Connelly Mysteries series by Charlaine Harris, introduces readers to a unique protagonist with a paranormal ability. Harper Connelly has the uncanny ability to find dead bodies and see the last moments of their lives. After being struck by lightning as a teenager, Harper discovers this strange talent and decides to use it to help others find closure. In Grave Sight, Harper and her stepbrother, Tolliver, travel to the small town of Sarne in Arkansas to investigate the disappearance of a local teenager. Upon arrival, they quickly discover that the town is hiding a dark secret, and the teenager is not the only one to have gone missing. As Harper delves deeper into the mystery, she begins to uncover a series of grisly murders and a town full of secrets. Harris's writing is engaging and fast-paced, making Grave Sight a compelling read. The author skillfully blends elements of mystery, horror, and the supernatural to create a gripping and suspenseful story. The protagonist, Harper, is a strong and likable character, and her relationship with her stepbrother, Tolliver, adds depth and complexity to the story. One of the strengths of Grave Sight is the way Harris explores the darker side of small-town America.
