In what appears to be the final HarperConnelly novel that's exactly what happens. Harper's most recentcase intertwines with the case that means the most to her -- thedisappearance of her sister.
So she's back home with all of themost important characters from her past, living and dead. CharlaineHarris is fairly good at rehashing the details of Harper andTolliver's past so you could probably read this book without havingread the other books in the series, but in my opinion, you'd bemissing out.
I'll try not to include any major spoilers here --Overall it follows the general plot line of the other books in theseries. Tolliver books a job for Harper. She's supposed to tell theclient why their loved one died -- by standing near the grave atalent she'd rather not have, but since she does, she puts it togood use. And then, of course trouble ensues. Harper and Tollivergo from taking on a simple task to being full on privateinvestigators. This time around, Tolliver is unable to help as muchas he'd like.
Harper is slowly piecing it all together -- realizingthat somehow this case is tied to her sister's disappearance, buthow? Overall, it was a good ending to the series. We did learn whathappened to Cameron. We learn whether or not Harper ends up withManfred or Tolliver.
What of their other living relatives? They'rehere too. Leave a Reply Cancel reply Enter your comment here Fill in your details below or click an icon to log in:.

She can sense the final location of a person who's passed, and share their very last moment. The way Harper sees it, she's providing a service to the dead while bringing some closure to the living - but she's used to most people treating her like a blood-sucking leech. Traveling with her step-brother Tolliver as manager and sometime-bodyguard, she's become an expert at getting in, getting paid, and getting out fast.
Because for the living it's always urgent - even if the dead can wait forever. I recovered, mostly. I have a strange spiderweb pattern of red on my torso and right leg, which has episodes of weakness. Sometimes my right hand shakes. I have headaches. I have many fears.
And I can find dead people. That was the part that interested the professor… At the request of anthropology professor Dr. Clyde Nunley, Harper Connelly and her stepbrother Tolliver come to Memphis to give a demonstration of Harper's unique talent.
And what better place to have that demonstration than in a very old cemetery? Nunley doesn't bother to hide his skepticism, especially when Harper stands atop a grave and senses two bodies beneath her - one of a centuries-dead man and the other of a young girl, recently deceased.
When the grave is opened, Harper's claim is proven true. The dead girl is Tabitha Morgenstern, and eleven-year-old abducted from Nashville two years previously—a child whom Harper had tried, and failed, to find.
The coincidence raises suspicions about her among the police—so she and Tolliver undertake their own hunt to find the killer. You are commenting using your Facebook account.
