Harper Connelly sees dead people.

Okay, that's not, strictly speaking, true. She doesn't see them so much as sense them. Harper was hit by lightning when she was 15 and since then she can sense dead people. That's how she makes her living, finding dead people. Usually murder victims, but sometimes not.

In âGrave Sight,â Harper is in Sarne, AR to find the body of a local dead girl. It seems straightforward enough but it isn't. Harper, along with her brother Tolliver, are drawn into a web of small-town connections and drama. People are hostile to Harper, nearly as a matter of course, since they don't âapproveâ of her abilities.

I thought this book was probably the very first written by Charlaine Harris. I'm not sure that's true but it starts out stiffly and doesn't improve much, in terms of writing style. The story is good and I know CH has potential, so I stuck with it. I will probably read at least the next in the series and see if it improves.
