This could have been an brilliant book in a very excellent series. The thought of the dead communicating from the grave has enormous potential. This leader demonstrates both the ability to write well and the capacity for unique tale lines, but…
Here comes the huge BUT. The incestuous relationship between the two step siblings is just too off putting to tolerate. A few may argue that a sexual relationship between step children is not illegal but; it is beyond normal moral values.
It would seem that for whatever reason, Charlain Harris set this series up for failure. Since the majority of the mystery genre reading public is female and most have children this series may be considered distasteful in the extreme.

The book has a levelheaded tale line and is taut and well-written. She certainly set her mark and hit it squarely. I read all the time about books you can’t place down and books that have twists and turns, but this is the first time in a long time that I really veteran such a thing. All that said, I will be a bit careful when the next one comes out. The graphic details of torture were a bit much for me and I will be glad when they fade from my memory. I tried to skip, but her writing is so forceful that the descriptions appeared quickly. I also did not like the development of some personal relationships and I reflect the series would have been better lacking it. I like the ability the main character has to communicate with dead people and that alone makes for some appealing reading and presents endless tale lines. I hope Ms. Harris has gone as low as she intends and will find additional appealing tale lines. Of course, one tale line is set in stone and rather upsetting. I was so hoping that she was not going to “go there.” I am dying to say more but it would spoil the end for you. It was an unnecessary deviation that serves to limit future tale lines. It will be hard to find an leader whose writing I delight in as much as I have her’s, but I will not be able to read another book if the series continues in this vein. I am rethinking the five stars, but the leader did what she did extremely well. A excellent writer and a compelling tale. Still, I don’t like the sexual abuse and torture. I read to escape not to be reminded of the vile scenery of people. Sexual abuse, torture, and incest cross the line for me. For example, I like Law & Order, but not SVU. Ms. Harris has demonstrated in additional books in this series that she can described Harper’s unusual talent lacking exploring such depraved sociopathic behavior in plain detail. Okay, I knocked off a star for content unacceptable to me.

Although I loved the first two Harper Connelly books, this one disappointed me. I liked the first two because they weren’t too graphic, but still told a excellent tale. The details of the murders in this one were too disgusting. I reflect that anyone who reads the word “torture” can get the thought of what happened lacking all the gruesome details. It seems Ms. Harris thinks she has to shock to tell a tale (like in the Sookie Stackhouse books) but she is an brilliant storyteller and should rely more on that.

The book did not disappoint. I have read all the books in the series and delight in the character development and the unusual tale twists. The leader features a heroine with an unusual talent. Very engrossing and the combination of mystery, romance and fantasy cannot help but enthrall the reader. I want to read more of the series.
