Harper Connelly
Charlaine Harris & Andrew Gross · 4 novels · 1 short story · 2005–2017
The Harper Connelly Mysteries, by Charlaine Harris, follow a woman struck by lightning as a teenager and left with the ability to sense how the dead around her died, a skill she and her stepbrother Tolliver turn into a paying, town-to-town business finding bodies for grieving families and police. Across four books — Grave Sight, Grave Surprise, An Ice Cold Grave, Grave Secret — the mystery-of-the-week format is undercut by a slow-building arc about the siblings' damaged upbringing and each other.
