Other Books By Charlaine Harris - Book Club

I was wondering if anybody has read any of the other books of hers... other than the stackhouse novels. I have heard mixed opinions and thought I should ask you all...

I read Grave Sight (Harper Connelly Mysteries, Book 1) and didnt care for it. I just didnt like the main character at all and there was just no depth to her. I found the book really boring so I didnt bother to read the rest.

However, I also didnt care for the first book in the Stackhouse novels and LOVED the rest...so maybe that is her thing

That is the only other one I have read, though. Sorry.

I heard HBO is interested in doing a series on Harper too..

Daydreamer · 07-23-2009, 11:02 PM

I think it would actually make a good TV show.

I had a hard time with the book because there just was nothing about Harper to like, IMO. She was so blah. Everyone in the book was.

MickeezMommee · 07-23-2009, 11:04 PM

Lol.. blah makes for good tv!?

Daydreamer · 07-23-2009, 11:07 PM

No, but the subject makes for good TV. They can always give the character more life.

I like the aurora teagarden series and the shakespeare series. Her murder mysteries are quite good.

MickeezMommee · 07-23-2009, 11:21 PM

Are they similar to the stackhouse novels?

I loved the Aurora Teagarden series. Lily Bard is ok. I tried several times to read the Harper Connelly mysteries, but I just couldn't get into them.

To compare them to Sookie, I'd say that the Aurora Teagarden books have the most character development and plot development like Sookie.
