Charlaine Harris is already a star and a New York Times bestseller with her vampire mysteries starring Sookie Stackhouse and her Lily Bard mysteries. This second installment to her new supernatural mystery series might just be her biggest hit yet. Grave Sight's Harper Connelly is back, and her ability to find the dead and see their last moments is in higher demand than ever...A college class gets more than it bargained for when Harper gives a demonstration of her uncanny talent. Instead of just finding one body in an old grave, she finds two: the original occupant and a recently deceased girl whom Harper had tried, and failed, to find two years previously. To dispel suspicions about her own innocence, Harper and her stepbrother Tolliver undertake their own hunt to find the killer-only to find yet another body in the same grave.

Still enjoying the novelty of Harper's talent and the interesting cases she gets involved in. The tale revolves around a double (triple if you count the 100 year old one) murders using the same grave site. The pacing is fun and light and some fun characters and some morose ones too. Main complaints are the repetition nearly word for word of the bad home life they endured and the plot wrap up. In a Bond-inspired climax, the killer calls them to the house, reveals the entire plan, and then plans to kill everyone. Even with the eye-rolling conclusion, I enjoyed the book and plan to read more of the series.
