Ode to Karen White

Karen White is the author of all four of the last books I read.  I would highly recommend all of them to anyone.  She has a great ability to bring characters to life and make you feel like you are right in the story with them.  What I really enjoy is that I feel like I’ve been to all of the cities she has her books set in.

On Folly Beach.  This was a fun book to read.  It has a lot of interesting characters and is set in Folly Beach, which is a city I would love to go visit.  It continues to change from the past to the present to tell the entire story, which seems to be a common characteristic of Ms. White’s books.

The Girl on Legare Street.  If you don’t like books that involve sixth-sense stuff (seeing and talking to ghosts), then I definitely would not recommend this book.  I enjoyed it, but that stuff doesn’t bother me.  After finishing the book though, I learned it was the sequel to another of White’s books, which I read next.  Though I didn’t feel confused by having not read the other book first, I would still recommend reading them in order.

The House on Tradd Street.  Again, if you don’t like the paranormal, I wouldn’t recommend this.  This is the first book in the series that preceded ‘The Girl on Legare Street.’  Only because I had read Legare Street first, this book dragged due to my knowledge of some of the characters and events.  Other than that, I now want to go to Charleston because of it.  Great book!

Falling Home.  Another great book by Karen White.  I’m excited she has more that I get to read.  I don’t think this followed her other books as a traditional mystery with a love story involved, more the reverse, a traditional love story with a mystery involved.  None of her other books have made me cry, but this one did.  It pulled on a lot of heart strings and if you like cute love stories, this is a great one!
