Synopsis

Harper Connelly had a lucky escape when she was hit by lightning: she didn't die. But sometimes she wishes she had died, because the lightning strike left her with an unusual talent: she can find dead people - and that's not always comfortable. Everyone wants to know how she does it: it's a little like hearing a bee droning inside her head, or maybe the pop of a Geiger counter, a persistent, irregular noise that increases in strength as she gets closer. It's almost electric: a buzzing all through her body, and the fresher the corpse, the more intense the buzz. Harper and her brother Tolliver make their living from finding the dead, for desperate parents, worried friends ... and police departments who have nowhere else to look. They may not believe in her abilities, but sometimes the proof is just too much for even the most sceptical of police chiefs to deny. But it's not always easy for someone like Harper, for the dead *want* to be found - and too often, finding the body doesn't bring closure; it opens a whole new can of worms.

About this title

About the Author:

Charlaine Harris is the author of several NEW YORK TIMES bestselling series. She is married, with children, and lives in Arkansas.

From AudioFile:

Ever since Harper Connelly was struck by lightning, she's been able to locate dead bodies and determine how the victims died. Now she makes her living using that gift, assisted by her stepbrother, Tolliver. However, a job in a small town in the Ozarks becomes more than she bargained for when threats are made against her. Alyssa Bresnahan's clear, youthful voice is pleasant to listen to as she brings Harper and the other characters to life with convincing accents that fit their ages and genders. Bresnahan narrates with excitement and emotion where appropriate and, in general, turns in a good performance. S.S.R. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
