So sad that this the last Tradd St novel but also very glad that a spin-off is in the works! I do not want to give anything away but I found this to be a very satisfying wrap up to the series! The previous book left us with Jack and Mellie split up, This book continues with that along with the storyline of Mel trying to find out what happened to her friend Veronica’s sister Adrienne. Of course the Longo’s come back to add to the mayhem as Mel tries to regain Jack’s trust by turning into a new improved Melanie… great fun as always-lots of laughs and ghosts -thanks Netgalley for the advance copy!

I love this series that seems to have it all--lovable characters and characters you love to hate, mystery and suspense, ghosts and history. This latest and last book of the series was no exception. Every time I picked it up I had a hard time stopping without reading "just one more chapter."

Attic on Queen Street was the finale to the Tradd
Street series. I love Karen White's characters, especially Melanie Trenholm, and the Charleston setting, historical background, and supernatural elements makes this series a super fun read! I would recommend, especially for White's fans. The only criticism is I found the relationship between Jack and Mellow to be extremely shallow and immature for a couple who are supposed to be married. Very surface level. The storyline was still interesting, but the plot was very straightforward. #karenwhite #theatticonqueenstreet #netgalley

Ghosts, treasure, history, mystery, and love! Karen White’s Tradd Street series has something to draw in almost any reader. The stories are a vacation, history class and high school reunion rolled into one. Melanie takes us on a tour of Charleston’s neighborhoods, including the restaurants, museums, and bakeries, while she is faces the spirits of the dead throughout Charleston’s history. Along for the ride are her quirky family members and friends who all provide clues, help and support to solve the mysteries. In The Attic on Queen Street she faces at least five spirits, some supportive and some not as she also deals with her arch-villain Marc. It is very hard to put the book down. My favorite parts involve Charleston history which in this book returns to the Civil War. My least favorite part involves the characterizations. Almost all series writers fall into the same trap: the characters’s quirks and foibles are described so often that the characters become caricatures. Who needs names when one can just say “woman who obsesses on pink” or “older librarian who loves Jack.” Luckily there are new people in each book to learn about. Nola and Beau are still fresh and evolving as characters.
While this might be our last visit to Trade Street, it won’t be the last time we meet the women who help the dead find piece. And who knows, a man may join their ranks.

As much as I've enjoyed this series, I am pleased to read this is the final installment. The journey of Melanie Treholm has been interesting and this installment did not fail. Jack and Melanie are still on the outs from the ending of the last book. As they try to work through their issues another spirit enters their lives leading them on a treasure hunt. In the meantime, Melanie has agreed to help a friend find her sister, Adrienne's, killer. Adrienne's spirit who continues to lead Melanie and her sister to clues that help put the puzzle pieces together as well as igniting anger in another spirit as she tries to thwart their mission.

The seventh (and possibly last) book in White’s immensely popular Tradd Street series sees family, romance and historic house restorations Charleston-style (read: expensive and persnickety) come together in this exciting story of betrayal, old and new. And did I mention Ghosts? No? They populate every corner — friendly ghosts, malevolent ghosts, and immensely sad ghosts still seeking justice after many, many, years. For those new to the series, Melanie Trenholm — star realtor, new mother, and label gun enthusiast — can see and often speak to the dead.

A nice combination of women’s fiction (relationship issues, shopping, extravagant theme parties), mystery (cold cases as presented by sad, justice-seeking ghosts), and historical fiction (plenty of interesting research into Charleston’s history as it bears on the cold case du jour). A fun mix of humor and over-the-top lifestyles with complicated plot twists, an overly dramatic research librarian, and intricate treasure hunts. You could certainly read this book on its own, but given the five months to publication, I recommend starting at the beginning with The House on Tradd Street. I’ve enjoyed every single one of the series.

Love Karen White's novels and the fact that she writes so well about Charleston. More ghost and nasty mean live people..Fun

I read the first books in this series, so I thought this might be interesting. The ghosts and little mysteries were fine, but the main character's relationship was a bit immature. Think the author got tired at the end and just wanted to quickly wrap everything up. Blink and you miss if they find the treasure or not ARC provided by NetGalley in exchange for a fair review.

Wonderful continuation of the Tradd Street Mystery. Love Melanie and Jack’s Love story. I love the setting of The series as well as The contrast between mystery and a love story. I can’t wait for the next book.

This is the last book of the series set in Charleston by this author. And I have loved everyone of them. Mellie, the character, and her dealings with ghosts and murders have kept me captivated through every book. But it is time to move on and I can't wait for the possible new spin off series to be set in New Orleans.

The Attic on Queen Street is the finale in a wonderful series about Melanie, her family, Charleston, their house on Tradd Street, and of course, ghosts. Melanie has come a long way since the first book in the series and has gone from being alone in life to having many people to love and a wonderful life.
When I become invested in a book, especially a series, I think of characters as real people and become involved in their lives so in the last book when Jack suddenly leaves Melanie I didn’t like it and saw no reason for his leaving. I have to say I still found him to be a passive aggressive ass towards Melly throughout this book as well. I still can’t understand why he left and what she did was so terrible. Melly however has truly and beautifully come into her own. This book ties up all the loose ends, Melly and Jack, Nora’s life, what happens to Marc Longo and Rebecca, Veronica and what happened to her sister. It’s a satisfactory ending to a great series. I implore Karen White to still write about them, as the demand for this series is as great as ever with our library patrons.
An interesting new character, Beau, a young man little older than Nola is introduced in this book. He comes from New Orleans and will star in the new series spinoff with Nola. With his background I’m already anticipating the new book, and think it will be terrific.
I loved everything about this series and am so sorry to see it end. This is a great book.

I used to love Karen White's books which were mainly mystery with a little romance thrown in., but her latest have been all romance and super sappy to boot. Disappointing
