Charlaine Harris' Grave Surprise

by Charlaine Harris and Royal McGraw

[Hillary]

I have to admit that I had no idea this was part of a series. I saw it on NetGalley's read now and thought it looked interesting. I am getting into comics and graphic novels this year. I enjoyed this graphic novel. I had to read it on my Macbook, and the artwork was outstanding. It contributed to the story. The plot was on point. I read some reviews, and some people said they figured out who the killer was from the beginning but I am dumb when it comes to mysteries, so I did not figure it out. I hope I am not the only one this stupid. Is there anyone out there like me that can never figure out who the murderer is? I hope so. It would be sad to be the MOST dumb person. #plsdontletmebetheonlyone

Anyway, I enjoyed Charlene Harris's other work, and this one did not disappoint. I am always leery when a book is translated into a graphic novel, but this one is great. It kept the spirit of the original story. I always enjoy seeing the artist idea of what the people in the story looked like and this matched what I had in my head from the original story. I felt that the pacing was excellent. It did not drag out or anything it kept me engaged and turning the pages. Like I said, I had to read it on my computer, and I HATE reading stuff like that on my computer but with this novel it made me forget about that and I kept clicking on the pages anxious to see who the killer was.  This book can be read as a stand alone. I read it as such and felt I had enough information to get the story.This review was originally posted on Adventures in Never Never Land
