Publisher's summary

New York Times bestselling author Charlaine Harris pens darkly inventive paranormal tales, including the immensely popular Sookie Stackhouse novels.

With Grave Secret, Harris returns to her beloved Harper Connelly series to deliver a thrilling mystery.

Ever since Harper was struck by lightning, she’s been able to see and hear the last memories of the dead. Going on the road with her stepbrother Tolliver, she uses this unwanted gift to solve crimes and bring clients closure. Now, besides handling a budding romance with Tolliver, Harper is on the trail of a particularly gruesome killer in rural Texas, and she must act quickly before more lives are lost.

A tale of dark desires and even darker intentions, Harris’ fourth book in the series shows why she’s become a household name in fiction.

The series was addictive & very enjoyable.

I loved the series, but the reader (listener) needs to be open minded to accept Harper's talent....which is a bit bazzare, but very entertaining!

Excellent

What a ride! This one was pretty exciting and with lots of twists and turns. I guessed early on who did one murder, but I didn't know why nordid I know about the other deaths. I wish the author would continue this series. I like it better thanthe Stackhouse books.

Amazing

I absolutely love how characters tie in from this set tie into another onto another. Bringing just a piece of the works together in a way.

Best Harper Conelly Mystery Yet!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Ms. Harris's continuing tale of Harper Conelly the body finder is well developed and entertaining. Her characters are unique and visual. Alyssa Bresnahan does a great job in her narrating and voice characterizations. I love all of Ms. Harris's books and would recommend this to her fans as well as those who love a good mystery.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Since this story had more than one mystery being dealt with it kept you wanting more. You couldn't help but anticipate what may happen yet, if Harper would find the answers she was looking for or would fate intercede and leave you kept in the dark.

What about Alyssa Bresnahan’s performance did you like?

Alyssa always does a great job and with Ms. Harris's clever characters it sometimes can be a challenge keeping them sounding as individual characters. She really handles it well. Her readings are natural and seamless.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

When Harper first thinks her step father may have killed her sister, and how she had to keep a cool head even when she wanted to tear his throat out.

Blown away

I usually buy audible books after all I have read the actual books. It lends a whole other dimension. I just have to say that this book wraps up the entire series in a wonderful, wonderful, sad heartbreaking way. Read it.

Amazing Series!

This is a four book series that is so well written, with an awesomely riveting story. It is tied up so well in the four books that even tho you may want more, you feel satisfied with the ending. Loved them!

Nice end to the series

Nice end to the series. It brought everything together but the ending was abrupt.

Compelling!

Charlaine Harris delivers with this compelling Harper Connolly series. Caution, for those who may have experienced abuse or neglect, content could potentially be triggering. Still, I'm glad I found the series.

Very slow story. Too much unnecessary sexual stuff

after reading the Sookie Stackhouse novels I branched out to her other series. I fell into this one and absolutely loved the first and second book. Don't get me wrong I know she got famous with True Blood and all the sex and stuff in it which fit into that genre but I liked the fact that the grave series wasn't smutty. however I feel like that took a real bad downturn in the third book when there was quite a few chapters just describing Toliver and Harper having sex and I just feel like all that was unnecessary and cheap-end the book. however with this book it was good overall but I feel it was slow all the way through till just about the very end. and even though it wasn't as descriptive sex in this novel I felt like there was just way too much unnecessary sexual references all throughout the book. I know I'm the minority here but I just felt like it cheapened this very last book because every couple of chapters there was something sexual going on between her and Toliver and then the story to me was very very slow until maybe the last quarter of the book.
