It's not marketed directly to romance readers although I know a number of romance readers read Harris. I also don't find them terribly gory. They are a bit of a cozy mystery. Have you tried her new "Grave" series? Those are pretty interesting. The female protagonist can communicate with dead people and is called in to elicit information from them for monetary purposes and the like. There is an interesting family dynamic between herself and her stepbrother. Some reviewers have suggested its romantic but I find it more to be a connection between two indiviudals who suffered a connected trauma.
