Product Description
Acclaimed author Karen White returns with the sequel to the national bestseller The House on Tradd Street.
Melanie has grown accustomed to renovating old houses, but she never imagined she'd have to renovate her own life to include her estranged mother. Ginnette Prioleau Middleton left Charleston thirty-five years ago. She's returned wanting to protect the daughter she's never really known after receiving an ominous premonition.
Melanie never wanted to see her mother again, but with some prodding from her partner, Jack Trenholm, she agrees-and begins to rebuild their relationship. Together Melanie and Ginnette buy back their old home. With their combined psychic abilities they expect to unearth some ghosts. But what they find is a vengeful dark spirit whose strength has been growing for decades. It will take unearthing long buried secrets to beat this demon and save what's left of Melanie's family...

Good Read, But Not as Good as the First One March 13, 2010
Twug (Too Many Hours Shy of Paradise)
I really loved "The House on Tradd Street" and would recommend it to anyone. This one is not as good, but still a fun read. Melanie needs to realize that she is not the only person in the world that has been hurt and needs to "get over herself". I think if there is another book in this series, Melanie needs to see how much Jack cares for her and stop pushing him away. Her antics and self-pity are tiresome at times. More of General Lee would be fun, too, please.
 a good read March 9, 2010
L. E. Carter (New Iberia, LA United States)
I was not disappointed by this follow up to the House on Tradd Street. I read it over night, in fact, couldn't put it down.
Wonderful February 21, 2010
C. Duggan (USA)
I really enjoyed this book, in fact I found it very difficult to put it down. It was complex, fascinating and very realistic about how the effects of a fractured parental relationship can still affect the actions of an adult and influence her own relationship decisions.
another great Karen White book February 10, 2010
C. Kirkland
Love all Karen White's stories. I love Charleston and she describes it and the surrounding areas beautifully. Only wish Melanie and Jack would stop tap dancing around falling in love.
 The Girl On Legare Street February 5, 2010
Sacramento Book Review (Sacramento, CA)
Most people inherit things like eye color and a tendency towards premature baldness from their parents. Melanie Middleton shares something even more bizarre with her mother...the ability to talk to ghosts. But after her mother walked out on her and her father over three decades ago, Melanie would rather pretend she didn't even have a mother, much less one that she shares an unusual psychic talent with. Except now Melanie's mother has returned, insisting that Melanie is in danger from a vengeful presence that occupies their ancestral Charleston home and is convinced that only by working together can the two of them banish the evil spirit.
//The Girl on Legare Street// is a real page-turner, mostly due to regular ghostly appearances, the pace at which each twist in the hundred-year-old mystery is carefully (and sometimes startlingly) revealed, and also due to the superb cast of believable characters. Unfortunately, the final conclusion of the book feels more like bracing yourself for a strong punch that never gets thrown and the pent-up anticipation keeps you waiting for the conclusion even after you've read the last line of the book. However, this is still an enjoyable read for historical mystery lovers, despite the somewhat incorporeal finale.
