Helpful Score: 9
What a mistake. I ordered this one on auto-pilot having loved Karen White's previous books. After it arrived, I kept reading reviews that called it a romance, a mystery, a ghost story, paranormal and a great read and put off reading it since I don't care for ghost stories or the paranormal genre. I tried reading it last night. Melanie Middleton, a real estate broker, inherits a crumbling old house in Charleston from a stranger. The first few chapters are filled with so much minute detail and boring decriptions that I kept dozing off. By the end of the fourth chapter I gave up, closed the book and posted it online. I did not find the characters, the setting nor the ghost the least bit interesting. I was just plain bored ... and disappointed. What a departure from her previous novels in which she took such great care with her characters and setting. This being the first in a new series, I guess I won't be reading any of Ms. White's books anytime soon.
