Publisher Description

Harper Connelly's past comes back to haunt her in the final gripping supernatural mystery from bestselling author Charlaine Harris.

Taking a break from investigating, Harper and Tolliver head back to Texas, where they grew up - and her sister Cameron went missing eight years ago.

But when they arrive home, Tolliver's dad arrives on the scene seeking forgiveness, and the police get a tip-off that after all these years, Cameron's been spotted in a mall. Soon, family secrets ensnare them both and Harper finally discovers what happened to her missing sister so many years before.

And what she finds out will change her world forever. . .

Not Sookie and not trying to be

First off I am a fan of the Stackhouse novels. The way I have commented here is based on the assumption that many will, as I did, come to look at these books as a result of loving Sookie's stories. Harper's tales are not the True Blood formula and that is interesting - to find an author than can write outside of her successful formula and has the guts to do so. The Harper book series is much quieter. These are real people in a real world rather than the larger than life grotesques of the True Blood series. There is a paranormal element, but the central characters are accepting to the point of resigned about it and more often than not hold their tongues rather than jump in guns blazing as Sookie and her cohorts would do.
Romance and physical contact is present in these novels but (so far in the series at least) not the eroticism Sookie lovers may expect. If you have certain passages of book four of Sookie's story marked, spine broken or very dog-eared then you may be disappointed. What will not disappoint is the more measured approach, the gentle character development and interactions. It takes more than one book to appreciate this. The narratives are crime based due to the nature of Harper's condition, but thought through and not as easy to guess 'whodunnit' as some out there. This book, the 4th in the series relies heavily on a huge co-incidence but then that worked fine of each and every one of Dickens' works. Dickens fans please note I am NOT comparing Ms Harris to Charlie boy.
I would, and have, recommended this series to others but try to proceed without preconceptions or you will be disappointed and would be missing out on a worthwhile read.
