Nola Trenholm is hopeful for a fresh start in the Big Easy but must deal with ghosts from her past--as well as new ones--in this first book in a spin-off series of Karen White's New York Times bestselling Tradd Street novels. After a difficult detour on her road to adulthood, Nola Trenholm is looking to begin anew in New Orleans, and what better way to start her future than with her first house? But the historic fixer-upper she buys comes with even more work than she anticipated when the house's previous occupants don't seem to be ready to depart. Although she can't communicate with ghosts like her stepmother can, luckily Nola knows someone in New Orleans who is able to--even if he's the last person on earth she wants anything to do with ever again. Beau Ryan comes with his own dark past--a past that involves the disappearance of his sister and parents during Hurricane Katrina--and he's connected to the unsolved murder of a woman who once lived in the old Creole cottage Nola is determined to make her own...whether the resident restless spirits agree or not.
I am a fan of Karen White. My first encounter was The House on Tradd Street which I found on vacation at a Virginia Beach House in a closet that happen to have games and books. I happen to come across this and swapped it out for I book I had just finished. Boy what a find. Ever since then whenever I see Karen's book they become my "must read" books. All the books so far have really made me think about what comes next. Shop on Royal Street, combines antique finds, restoring old haunted and spirited houses and how afterlife mysteries have come into the storyline. This has a great story and determination for solving, along with deep and hidden clues, friendships and love. Never expected the ending and have already ordered the second book.*****
