"This is the 3rd in the Harper Connelly series, and so far, I like this one the best. Being able to locate dead people provides an interesting story, but it only takes you so far. After all, they're still dead regardless of whether or not you find them. Unlike the 2nd book, there is a sense of urgency to this one because the bodies found are victims of a serial killer. To prevent further tragedy, Harper feels compelled to help find the killer and bring him/her to justice. Because of her actions, Harper herself is targeted by the killer. This adds exciting twists to the plot.
In my review of the 2nd book, I said I found the relationship between Harper and Tolliver Lang disturbing. I made this statement under the guise that Harper and Tolliver were in a traditional brother-sister relationship. Now that I've read the 3rd book, I understand that is truly not the case. I am no longer disturbed, but I still wouldn't call their relationship normal by any means."
"I am thrilled that running out of Sookie Stackhouse novels led me to discover this series! I love the way Charlaine Harris writes no matter who the main character is, apparently, so now that I'll be waiting impatiently for both the next Sookie book *and* the next Harper book, I guess I'll tackle one of her other series. :)
This book in particular was the best of the Harper Connelly books in my opinion. The mystery was a good one and it wasn't too predictable. The murders were described in a way that you feel the horror while you are reading without crossing a line into the gory and the disgusting like another series I tried to read. I appreciate that because I am not a fan of horror novels.
I also found the romance in this book to be interesting. I look forward to seeing what happens next for Harper! (And I won't say more, because I don't want to spoil anything!) I am very glad that a new Harper book is due to come out later this year!"
"This book was the most interesting out of the first three books in the series. There were many characters that were positioned in the story to be considered the suspect for the murders taking place in this small town. I found it interesting trying to determine which character was responsible for the horrible acts of crime. However, the responsible party was not revealed to the last possible moment.
This mystery was much darker then the mysteries from the previous books. The thought of the violent acts that were suggested in this book were cringe worthy but thankfully the author did not go in-depth with details.
Harper and Tolliver develop into a more romantic relationship in this book. Even though the idea is a bit incestuous considering they were raised as siblings, I could see that their relationship was heading it this direction and I like them developing into a deeper relationship. Considering both characters depending so much on each other that they can't truly allow someone else to integrate into their lives it only makes sense that these characters grow into a more adult love for one another.
I am interested in seeing how their relationship develops in the next series book."
"This is the third book in Harris' Harper Connelly series, and of course, is as good as the other two - both of which I gave top-ratings too.
In this installment, Harper is in South Carolina. The grandmother of a missing teenage boy has contacted them to see if she can find his body. Not only does Harper find the body of one boy, she finds the bodies of eight. In this small town, a serial killer is at large. At once the place is swarming with police and the media. However, having had his dirty secret revealed by Harper, she is his next victim, and he lands her in hospital. Yet that is not the end of his man nor the investigation...
Well, this is by far the most creepy, what with it being a serial killer, who did horrific things to the boys before their deaths. Along with the suspense is an engaging and exciting book. Harris does not whip out of writing about the horrors of rape and torture - and although that is very sinister, it adds to the book. As ever, she continuesstory lines from the other two books - such as Tolliver's and Harper's changing relationship and their missing sister Cameron.
I love this series and am so looking forward to the next one, which is out later this year (2009). Harris is gripping and exciting. I love the way she writes and her characters. I enjoy reading about Harper, the realism in her physical pain and the way she becomes emotionally involved with the cases and the people. I highly recommend this book and the entire series.
