Posted on Thursday, September 7th, 2023

The fifth novel in Charlaine Harris‘s acclaimed Gunnie Rose series, ALL THE DEAD SHALL WEEP is out now in the UK! Published by Piatkus Books, here’s the synopsis…

Charlaine Harris returns to her alternate history of the United States where magic is an acknowledged but despised power in this fifth installment of the Gunnie Rose series.

Following the murderous events of The Serpent of Heaven, Lizbeth Rose is awaiting the arrival of her sister Felicia and her husband’s younger brother Eli in Texoma. Both needed to leave the seat of the Holy Russian Empire in San Diego after Felicia’s burgeoning wizardly power in death magic became the reason for kidnapping and assassination attempts from her mother’s family of high-powered wizards in Mexico.

Yet bad news has travelled ahead of them, as Eli is called back to San Diego, taking Peter along with him, splitting them apart in more ways than one as their enemies’ plans for revenge come to fruition…

Out Tomorrow: New UK Paperback edition of THE SERPENT IN HEAVEN!

Posted on Wednesday, May 3rd, 2023

A new paperback edition of THE SERPENT IN HEAVEN, Charlaine Harris‘s hotly-anticipated fourth Gunnie Rose novel is out tomorrow in the UK! Published by Piatkus, here’s the synopsis…

Felicia, Lizbeth Rose’s younger half-sister and student at the Grigori school within the capital of the New Holy Russian Empire in San Diego, is caught between secrets and powerful family struggles. As a distant relative to the Tsar, she provides an essential service to him by providing blood transfusions for his hemophilia, and she is thus given rare access and dismissed as if cattle. At the Grigori school she is seen as a charity case, a poor orphan with no prospects and no sign of magical prowess-the latter which Felicia keeps purposefully hidden. And yet, when a kidnapping attempt is made upon Felicia her past and her future crash together in violent ways.

Continuing immediately after The Russian Cage, this fantastical fourth book takes a side step, exploring the Holy Russian Empire while also showcasing the dynamic depths of magic within Harris’s alternate North America in curious mysteries. Felicia, it turns out, is far more than the Russian-Mexican waif Lizbeth rescued, and the journey of discovery she is on is filled with magical assassins and desperation, but above it all is her courage to never give in to the limitations imposed upon her.

The first three novels in the Gunnie Rose series are also published in the UK by Piatkus, and out now in paperback and eBook: AN EASY DEATH, A LONGER FALL, and THE RUSSIAN CAGE.

The fifth novel in the series is due out in September 2023, also via Piatkus in the UK: ALL THE DEAD SHALL WEEP. (No cover at the time of writing, but we’ll share it as soon as we have it.)

New HARPER CONNELLY Editions Out Now in the UK!

Posted on Thursday, December 8th, 2022

Today, Gollancz publishes new UK editions of Charlaine Harris‘s Harper Connelly Mysteries! These new editions mark the 10th anniversary of the first UK editions, which were published in 2012. The series includes…

  1. GRAVE SIGHT
  2. GRAVE SURPRISE
  3. AN ICE COLD GRAVE
  4. GRAVE SECRET

Here’s the synopsis for book one…

Join Harper Connelly as she uncovers the secrets – and bodies – buried deep in this paranormal mystery series from bestselling author Charlaine Harris.

Harper Connelly has what you might call a strange job: she finds dead people. She can sense the final location of a person who’s passed, and share their very last moment. Harper and her stepbrother Tolliver have become experts at getting paid and getting out of town fast – because people have a funny habit of not really wanting to know the truth.

At first, the small Ozarks town of Sarne seems like no exception. The pair have been hired by local police to find a missing girl. But the secrets of her death – and the secrets of the town – are buried deep enough that even Harper’s special ability can’t uncover them. With hostility welling up, she and Tolliver want nothing more than to be on their way. But then another woman is murdered.

And the killer’s not finished yet…

Here are just a few of the reviews the series has received…

‘Prolific author Harris debuts a series that just might surpass all her others in popularity […] A strong debut that will have readers dying for more.’ — Booklist on GRAVE SIGHT

‘Harris delivers a knuckle-gnawing tale populated with well-developed, albeit edgy characters.’ — Publishers Weekly on GRAVE SIGHT

‘Leave it to the incredibly talented Harris to come up with another unique, troubled and utterly compelling heroine. The suspense is dark, and the paranormal elements creepy in this highly original tale that launches a new series. Paranormal mystery at its best!’ — RT Book Reviews on GRAVE SIGHT

‘This new series seems more mainstream and considerably darker in tone than Harris’ Sookie Stackhouse vampire mysteries, but still has a folksy edge, a spooky but sweet amateur detective mystery full of interesting characters.’ — Locus on GRAVE SIGHT

‘GRAVE SIGHT is an interesting blend of fantasy and crime […] Harris has a gift for deft description, entertaining characters and interactions, and convincing plotting. I’m looking forward to more.’ — Analog

‘[A] winning second supernatural caper […] Peppered with the author’s trademark deadpan wit, this book should help make Harper and Tolliver as popular as Sookie Stackhouse.’ — Publishers Weekly on GRAVE SURPRISE

‘Begins with a bang […] Harris does an amazing job laying out this intriguing mystery while exploring Harper’s varying beliefs and skepticisms. When it comes to serving up the supernatural, Harris is unmatched.’ — RT Book Reviews on GRAVE SURPRISE

‘Harris’s greatest strength is creating realistic, fully-rounded characters with just a sentence or two […] Fans of paranormal mysteries will snap this book up.’ — Library Journal (Starred Review) on AN ICE COLD GRAVE

‘In the third installment of Harris’ eerie and mesmerizing series, big changes are afoot for plucky psychic heroine Harper Connelly […] What more could you ask for than a creepy mystery and a chilling drama?’ — RT Book Reviews on AN ICE COLD GRAVE

‘This is the third in the series, and it just keeps getting better and better.’ — SFRevu on AN ICE COLD GRAVE

‘The evolving relationship between Harper and stepbrother Tolliver continues to be the heart of a series that often is about the darkness of souls. It’s riveting from beginning to end.’ — RT Book Reviews on GRAVE SECRET

Harris’s latest novel is THE SERPENT IN HEAVEN, the fourth novel in the author’s Gunnie Rose series — it is published in the UK by Piatkus.

Charlaine Harris’s A LONGER FALL out now in UK Paperback!

Posted on Thursday, January 14th, 2021

The UK paperback edition of A LONGER FALL is out today! The second book in Charlaine Harris‘s Gunnie Rose series, it’s published by Piatkus. Here’s the synopsis…

When Lizbeth Rose is hired onto a new crew to transport a crate into Dixie, she sees it as an easy protection gig. Dixie, the self-exiled southeast territory of the former United States, might be just about the last place she wants to visit, but the job itself is straightforward… until their cargo is stolen and her journey turns into a massacre.

Up against a wall in Dixie, Lizbeth has to go undercover with an old friend to retrieve the crate. Forces across three territories will be racing her, for what the crate contains is something powerful enough to spark a rebellion, if she can get it back in time…
