    A Surprisingly Complex, Intriguing, and Suspenseful Read
  

*by W***1 on Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2009*

This book is rife with so many issues and themes that it could have easily become a tangled, unreadable mess.  The fact that Karen White was able to deftly handle each and every plot is a testament to her talent as a writer.  She was able to tackle everything from ghosts (both of the benevolent and evil varieties) to treasure, betrayals, love, abandonment, and even how one goes about restoring an old house to its former splendor.Through all of that, White managed to create characters that are deeply flawed, yet also realistic, and the reader winds up truly caring about them as they navigate through traumas and obstacles that not only creep up on them in present day, but also those that befell them in the past.Even as they deal with pain and loss, their likability shines through, which leads to quite a bit of humor throughout the book.  Case in point - the story's protagonist is, on the surface, all about strict organization and efficiency, and the reader quickly finds out that this is part of the defense mechanism that she's relied upon since her incredibly troubled childhood.  A less talented writer would have made it pretty difficult to care about Melanie, but White imbues her with so much snark, humor, and quirks - i.e. her love of spreadsheets is second only to her utter devotion to sugar in all of its various forms - that the reader quickly becomes invested in her and her relationships as she deals with (amongst other things) a multitude of ghosts and her desire to solve the mystery of a family's tumultuous, tragic past.Then, too, Jack is an excellent foil for Melanie.  Rather than merely being an exceptionally attractive playboy writer, his charm and humor endear him to readers as he interacts with Melanie, and tries to solve a mystery or two of his own, while he's still reeling from an event that caused him a great deal of emotional pain.This book was very good on any number of levels - it's both funny and sad at times; the multiple mysteries are all interesting and suspenseful; and the ghosts run the gamut from being heartwarming to exceedingly creepy and dangerous.  It is truly a great book, and the only downside to it is that, according to the pages at the book's end, we have to wait quite awhile until the next installment of Melanie and Jack's adventures is released.

    Enjoyable Southern Ghost Story
  

*by M***S on Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2018*

I purchased this mystery/ghost story in large part due to the good price, and I enjoyed it.  The very beginning was a bit overly descriptive (meaning every noun had at least one or two very "moody" adjectives describing the location) - don't get me wrong, I like to "see" the setting, but I don't need so many dramatic descriptions in just a few paragraphs.  This seems to be a common occurrence in novels that take place in the South (I suppose because so much about the South invites exaggerated prose).  That said, once the actual story got going, it was fun.  This is not Agatha Christie, and you know pretty much from the beginning who the ghosts are at work in the story, but the characters are easy to hang out with and understand.  The fact that the main character hates her ability to see ghosts and downplays it as much as possible keeps the story from degenerating into just another "Ghost Whisperer" kind of tale.  Her parental issues help round her out (as a person).  I would be interested in reading the subsequent books in this series, but I'll likely try to get them at my local library.
