Story4.5 out of 5 stars 190
Eugenia Ladson’s husband—retired judge Everette Ladson—is engaging in marital misbehavior—she’s certain of it. But to activate the clause in her prenup, she needs proof, and is willing to pay for as many hours of surveillance as it takes. When Eugenia turns up dead, Hadley is in Greenville, South Carolina—three and a half hours away—where she’s followed Everette. Every instinct tells Hadley Everette is responsible for Eugenia’s death, but she is regrettably his alibi.

Publisher's summary
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 best-selling 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.
Critic reviews
“White has added another page-turner to her repertoire of haunted houses and ghosts who won't stay put."—Northwest Indiana Times
"A complex mystery that’s appropriately goosebumpy. Not just fans of the Tradd Street series, of which this is a spin-off, will look forward to seeing more of Nola."—Publishers Weekly

But when Adella Atwater, the manager of her grandmother's apartment house, called and said her expenses would be paid if she'd fly in for the burial, a free trip to New Orleans was too intriguing to resist.

Recently widowed Jillian Hart is rebuilding a life for herself and her three beloved cats - Chablis, Syrah, and Merlot - as a quilter in a small South Carolina town. The quilts she makes are for cats as smart, special, and sweet as her own, and business is thriving. But when she returns from an overnight quilting show, she discovers Chablis sneezing - and since Chablis is allergic to humans, that can only mean one thing: Someone has broken into her house. When she realizes her Abyssinian, Syrah, is missing, Jillian suspects catnapping. Spurred by Chablis and Merlot’s mournful meowing, she investigates - and discovers more missing cats and a murder.

Eugenia Ladson’s husband—retired judge Everette Ladson—is engaging in marital misbehavior—she’s certain of it. But to activate the clause in her prenup, she needs proof, and is willing to pay for as many hours of surveillance as it takes. When Eugenia turns up dead, Hadley is in Greenville, South Carolina—three and a half hours away—where she’s followed Everette. Every instinct tells Hadley Everette is responsible for Eugenia’s death, but she is regrettably his alibi.

Mead House was once our childhood home. Despite my fears, I always knew we would have to return to face the demons of our past. Back to the place where it happened, to where, as carefree teenagers, we lost our elder sister in the most brutal of circumstances. As executors of our grandmother’s will, my twin brother, Ollie, and I needed to empty the house for resale. What I didn’t expect to discover was my sister’s secret journal that contained her most private thoughts and shocking dark secrets.

As the London Daily Gazette’s popular gossip columnist, she is extremely adept at sneaking into houses, assuming disguises and overseeing a vast network of spies to ensure she stays abreast of the beau monde’s comings and goings. If it sometimes seems as though she was hiding behind the settee during a particularly fierce quarrel between a husband and his wife, it’s most likely because she was hiding behind the settee during their fierce quarrel.

Nola, you make me cringe, but I still adore you.
As you must know by now, this is a spin-off of Karen White's fantastically fun Tradd Street series. The main protagonist Nola is a fan favorite from those books. However, this book does work as a standalone as well. Nola, due to her trauma-filled early childhood, came into the original series as weary and mature beyond her years. Although her coming of age may have happened between the books, we still get to cringe along with her good and bad choices as she tries on being a "real" adult for the first time.
I enjoyed this a great deal. There were a few character choices that felt a bit plot-forced, and therefore dishonest as to what (I felt) the character would do, or say, or choose in those situations. Not enough to lose a star over, however.
The Shop on Royal Street is a strong opening for what I hope will be a long series.

Halloween surprise
I got this book out of curiosity, a few weeks before Halloween. I had no idea what it would be about. It was a great surprise. The author has me hooked snd I can’t wait to listen to more of her books.

Holds your interest!
I liked the narrator. She did a good job. I didn’t like the main character’s snarky, know-it-all attitude. The ending was great.

Accurately spooky
I loved the way they nailed the New Orleans layout and geography made it more pleasant knowing they weren’t reaching. Just the right amount of spooky every so often. A little slow sometimes on the descriptions of her emotional roller coaster but all in all pretty sweet read

So happy that Karen White continued with her Tradd Street characters by starting a new series set in the enchanting, mysterious city of New Orleans. Excellent story and excellent narrator! Loved it!

Wonderful escape to New Orleans
Storyline had me following. Smooth writing and loved the characters. A book that has no anxiety but pulls you right in. Sad to see it end. This is an author that is getting better with age.

Karen White has done it again!
Like a beautiful woven tapestry, Karen has given us yet another incredibly written story to some very beloved characters. How Hollywood hasn't made these books into a TV series I will never know! I'm already dying to read the next book to this new series!
