Here is a comment Jan posted trying to locate an author/book.
Jan writes:
I recently read a mystery that took place in New Orleans about a young woman from, I think, Boston,who inherited a house on the coast of Louisiana from her best friend who died of cancer. She was also made guardian of her friend’s daughter. I can’t remember the name of the author. Does anyone know?
Jan actually posted this on an entry’s comment area, but at the time, none of us could help her, so I am guessing it might be a little difficult to come up with an answer. I am hoping that someone out there today may know who this author/book could possibly be.
If you think you know, please post a comment. Thank you!

You might be talking about The Beach Trees by Karen White. The friend of the main character, Julie, died of a heart condition. Julie was made a guardian of the friend’s son, and took him to Biloxi to meet his mother’s family.

Is this a cozy mystery?
Linda says
I don’t think this is considered a cozy mystery, but there is definitely a mystery involved!

Linda, I hope you’re right! Thank you!
Darcy says
I read a story you describe some years ago. Can’t remember the title. If you haven’t already, check either Danielle Steele’s or Nora Roberts’ titles. I believe its one of theirs.

Darcy, if Linda didn’t get the correct author, then maybe Jan can skim through both Danielle Steele’s and Nora Robert’s mystery book lists. Thank you!
Pamela says
Linda – So sorry! I did not see your answer when I posted about the Karen White book. But I’m glad to know that others are familiar with her work. Have a great day!

Pamela, this just means that it probably is Karen White’s mystery. Thanks, again!
Pamela says
It sounds like The Beach Trees by Karen White. Her books are great but not considered cozy mysteries.

Pamela, I think this might be the book that Jan is looking for. Thank you!
