An Ice Cold Grave

Harper Connelly was struck by lightning and now has the ability to see the last few moments of a person's life. In some cases, the killing is clear like when the killer faces the victim, but at other times, the visions only show where the crime happened without being able to tell what happened. Harper is called to North Carolina to find the body of a younger runaway boy. The client neglects to tell Harper that there have been seven previous missing boys who have never been found. Harper finds the bodies of the missing boys, but the crime is not solved. She is attacked before she can leave, and has to stay to help solve the case. Why It Made the List Harris is on the list twice. After starting her Sookie Stackhouse series, she wrote a number of other paranormal mysteries. She has an incredible voice for each of the characters and a unique way of showing how they cope with their gifts. It's hard to write this category without seeing her books recommended all over the place. 'Read It If You Like' psychic, mystery, dark fiction
