"The Night the Lights Went Out" was an excellent book to enjoy, and I can't wait to share it with my friends this spring when it's published. This one is definitely going on the "Beach Reading" display we've planned for our library this summer! Thanks so much for the opportunity to read this terrific book!

Loved this book..mystery, romance, laughter and tears...Karen White put it all in this book. I loved the characters especially Sugar Prescott...I want to meet her

Not my favorite from Karen White, pretty predictable. I lost interest after a couple of chapters.
Thanks for the ARC

Sweet tea, southern sayings and secrets: what is there not to love? The characterizations of a small southern town and its inhabitants are spot-on. Throw in social media (Facebook and a mysterious blog) and you have a "can't put down" book. There is a lot of fore-shadowing, but there is still the twists and turns of a psychological mystery. The three main characters are very well drawn.

The Night the Lights Went Out is the latest story by Karen White. Ms White has the unique ability of bringing her characters alive and leaving the reader wishing they knew some of them in real life. The Night the Lights Went Out is no exception. Some laugh out loud moments and some edge of your seat make this story an interesting read. I was given an early copy to review.

This book was wonderful! Didn't want to put it down.

Blog intro will hook you.
Move to Sweet Apple, GA
A single mother makes a move to a home of an elderly lady. As we meet the elderly lady, we fall in love...when she can't sleep she reads the Bible or Harlan Coben (another fave author of mine), she has a free membership to Country Club because her family sold them the land it is built on. She won't waste anything free so she goes to Yoga 3 times a week. She is a southern lady who likes to cook and helps her neighbor.
This relationship grows- they become closer and closer.
I became more involved and more closer to then. I could not stop reading.
Women who have close friendships live longer than those who don't --but the quality of the friendship matters and makes the difference.

Drama, suspense, and storms build to a conclusion that will keep you reading.
I could not stop reading this once I started, reading the entire book in 1 day.

Not as good as her other books, But that said, it reminded me so much of the new "Atlanta". After living there for 30 years, I recall how the suburbs took over all the farm lands and the traffic congestion. Glad I live in the northeast now!.

Merilee Talbot Dunlap is trying to move on after an ugly divorce, no easy task with someone blogging the intimate details of why her marriage fell apart. She and her children head to Sweet Apple, Georgia where Merilee rents a small house from town matriarch Sugar Prescott and makes a new friend in Heather. Sweet Apple seems to be just like any other upper middle class town, but there are plenty of secrets in this little enclave and Sugar, who sees something of herself Merilee, shares some of those secrets with the younger woman. White does such an amazing job portraying women’s friendships and the modern south. As always, she provides an exemplary read
