An Ice Cold Grave by Charlaine Harris


Harper Connelly and her stepbrother, Tolliver, are called to Doraville, North Carolina so Harper can locate the bodies of six teenage boys who have disappeared over the last five years. After being struck by lightning as a teen, Harper has been able to locate corpses and give the cause of death. Harper has made a career of her skill, and she and Tolliver travel around the country to her jobs. In Doraville, Harper finds the boys easily, but is unsettled because she's never found so many bodies at once. It also means that there is a gruesome serial killer running around the small town. Unfortunately, she and Tolliver can't go home because the police insist that she must stick around to help with the investigation. Will Harper and the authorities be able to capture the killer before anyone else comes to harm? An Ice Cold Grave is the third book in the Harper Connelly series. The book had a nice combination of an interesting main character with a past coupled with a mystery that you want solved. For cozy mysteries readers who don't mind some sex and depictions of violence.
