Believable Paranormal Ghostly Story
Despite what some various reviews have said, I enjoyed this novel just as much as the first one. Yes, the the female protagonist is prissy, yes, there is predictability but it still was fun to see how the mystery unravelled and yes, I guessed at a few additional plot twists.
BUT, reflecting back on it I really am amazed at how well Karen White made me suspend reality to think the ghosts and psychic abilities of several characters exist. So much so, I expect the ghosts to materialize.
As I said about the The House on Tradd Street, I like the narrator. She keeps the characters clear enough to distinquish and her characterization of Melanie fits! I feel like I am back home again with the somewhat exaggerated accents.
If you are interested in the book I recommend you read Tradd Street first because it lays the groundwork for the characters although I think Legare Street will stand alone ok.
If you're not especially picky, I think the story is light-hearted reading and fun. Go for it!
I am embarrassed that I listened to this
This main character "Melly" is beyond obnoxius, why I continued to listen to this ridiculous banter, I don't know, I had along trip and nothing else on my ipod, but this one was horrible.
disappointing
The House on Tradd Street led me to believe this book would either be as good or better. I found myself really disliking our heroine but liking the folks around her. I don't care to read or listen to books where the main character does not grow or become likeable.
The mystery aspect is great, the romance aspect is painfully awful.
I really like the supernatural aspect to this story, I love a good ghost mystery & it makes me want to visit Charleston , SC but the idea of meeting any of the characters makes me roll my eyes. Melanie is beyond annoying & acts like a preteen and the people she surrounds herself - her 'family & friends' are so condescending and pushy they're making me run away from this series of books.
