Grave Surprise

Grave Surprise is the second book in Charlaine Harris' Harper Connelly mystery series. Harper was struck by lightning as a teen and can now sense corpses and their causes of death. This book starts with her attending a university class about paranormal events as a guest "speaker" which takes place in a cemetery on this day so Harper can demonstrate her talent. The professor's goal is to expose her as a fraud, but she, of course, is not. In the process of (accurately) naming the causes of death for all the bodies in the old cemetery, she comes across a grave with two occupants, the second being the body of a missing girl that Harper was trying to locate a year ago in another city with no success. The plot centers around her attempt to solve the mystery to clear her name in this suspicious set of circumstances.
