Grave Sight - by who else but Charlaine Harris I might promise that the next book I read won't be one of hers, but it has made for some great summer reading. This one is the first in the Harper Connelly series and stars yet again a young woman who is alienated from "normal" society by a strange gift, the "gift" of finding dead bodies, among other things.This book was okay -- it didn't grab me like Real Murders - it was better than the Shakespear book though. It felt dark - and it was a little depressing. I usually like dark and depressing, so I might go for the second book to see what she does with this.

Sounds like Lois Duncan for grown ups. There were shelves and shelves of Loner with Mysterious Gifts books in the young adult section of my local library as a kid...
That's such a great parallel! I loved her too; I think there's something in people who are more the loner type; you know you're special but everyone else thinks you're weird. So you just stumble along daydreaming about someone who will recognize your "specialness". Harris and Duncan,(and many others before them, Jane Austen being one) who maybe are that type in real life, write their fantasy.
