1: Good Read, But Not as Good as the First One
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.

2: a good read
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.

3: Wonderful
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.

4: another great Karen White book
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.

5: The Girl On Legare Street
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.
