The third book in the Harper Connelly series, it was a fun, quick read. Harper was struck by lightening & now can find dead people. She can tell how they died, but that's it. This time she runs into a serial killing & a lot of trouble. Kind of predictable overall, the details were fun to read. There are some added twists & turns to the plot that were fun.

I'd give this book 4 stars, just because it was such a fun, quick & relaxing read, but Harris just annoys me by constantly bringing up Harper's past. Yes, I know it defines her, but quit beating me over the head with it! There are entire paragraphs of self-pity that I continually have to skip over. She could reference it in a few words, a sentence at the most, but no! She has to recap it again & again. Not only have we read it in previous books, but also in this one! Enough already!!!

Still, I want to read the next one. Her works are like chips. They're not all that filling & I can't seem to put them down. I have to read just one more.... ( )

LOVE this book. The mystery was disturbing, and although the culprit was found, you could never be call it justice and be happy. Charlaine Harris sometimes has a truly disturbing mind. But I should be thankful for her mind because of books like Ice Cold Grave.
And finally Harper and Tolliver get together!!! ( )

My very last “stockpiled” Charlaine Harris novel, so I’m rather sad that I’m completely caught up with the backlist. Spotted half of this mystery early in the novel but then missed the big revealing clue that gave it all away! The serial killer part of this novel was suitably gruesome and thought the URST was handled well under the circumstances. ( )

The best of the series. I am looking forward to where Harris takes Harper and Tolliver the next go round. ( )

Disturbingly satisfying. Harris bravely follows through with the hints and suggestions of previous books, despite the taboos and social squeamishness that might accompany her narrative decisions. A great read for a rainy day. ( )
