Silent in the Grave 79 reviews

It made me love mysteries!
I really loved this book. I have been a huge fan of historical fiction from this era, but never a big fan of mysteries. This book changed my mind. The story line kept me guessing. I didn't figure out "who done it" until the heroine realized it. She is a great heroine, too. Although there were times that I thought that she was so proud that she acted stupidly. The romantic tension was very ...

Well-Rounded Characters, Fun Plot
This book was unexpected fun! The title is rather silly, but the book itself is well-written with well-defined believable characters. In fact, I liked it so much that I ordered three more of Sullivan/Graves books.

Do right by your kids...get this book
I have several estate planning books...the "how to" type and they are great. This is the book you need to read before you start filling in the blanks. I wish my parents had read this book. It would have saved my family relationships. This book gives you the basic information you need before drawing up your trust. Protect your beneficiaries and prevent family conflict by reading this book!

I read this book in about 4 hours. I tore through it lusting after the details and relationship between Harper and Tolliver. The body turns out to be a bunch and Harper's first mass murder. The unspoken love between Tolliver and Harper comes to a head and you are left breathless at the climax of the mystery. I hope that this series continues for many years to come.

"Addictions A Banquet in the Grave" - a Reading Feast
This book is not only a must read for alcoholics and drug addicts, but for anyone who has been, or thinks they can't become, seduced by sin. This book is for everyone because at one time or another we all take small steps of spiritual casualness or indifference that can lead to lack of sensivity to right or wrong, which can lead to all kinds of addictions.
The end of each chapter is very ...

Better than an appointment with your endocrinologist!
When my symptoms lead to a hyperactive thyroid, I purchased this book. As the tests came back, I was diagnosed with Graves disease. Every person diagnosed should have this book! The information is comprehensive, and is broken down to make the complicated information easily understandable. EXCELLENT! Reading it prior to my first appt. with an endocrinologist, helped me understand what he was ...

Although the Tempe Brennan in the books shares only the name and the profession with the TV character, she is also an enjoyable heroine. The author obviously does great background research for her novels. A great fun read.

An excellent mystery series!
I love to read mysteries but was quite skeptical when I saw the cover, title, and summary of this book since I'm not into anything supernatural, but I read an excerpt and was instantly drawn in and absolutely loved it. I passed it on to my mother-in-law and got her hooked too. After reading the books in this series I was so hooked on Charlaine Harris' writing that I read almost every single one ...

Each one is linked to many others...when you touch one of them, it sets off reverberations that will be felt by powerful people, ruthless people." This is expressed as a friendly ...
