Summary: well written first novel
Comment: I came across this book while on business over in Korea and decided to give it a try. Having spent many a summer on the beaches of Florida, Georgia, and Delaware, I have always been partial to the ocean and beach towns of my youth. As a result, one of my favorite genres is a light-hearted beach novel that you can enjoy while on the hot sand near the water. WDB was well written and fun to read. The characters were well developed and seemed to grow on you after every page. Even Bailey Ginch, the antagonist, grew on me by the end of the book. My favorite two characters in the book were two old friends who had been coming to the White Dolphin for many years and thrived off of one another's friendship, loyalty, and companionship. Burcham did a good job developing and chronicling the life of the main character, Rowena Muldoon, as she grew up in N.C. until she became the owner defacto of the quaint little beach bar called the White Dolphin. No story is complete without conflict and White Dolphin Blues in no exception. The town, the beach and the bar all seem to be in jeopardy of the wrecking ball all in the name of progress and profit. Muldoon musters a group of introverts, extroverts, and eccentrics to save the day and the Dolphin. This book would appeal to anyone who loves any of Jimmy Buffet's music or his two novels WHERE IS JOE MERCHANT and MARGARITAVILLE. A quick read and well done beach novel, WDB will reward the reader with vivid imagery, well developed characters and plot lines, a classic man vs. man struggle and conflict, and enjoyable conflict resolution. Overall, it was an A- book. I look forward to this authors next work.

Summary: Fun book - wish I was in Paradise Beach.
Comment: A great cast of characters and easy reading make White Dolphin Blues a fun experience. Surprise twists keep you reading until the final (very satisfying) outcome. You can tell that Mr. Burcham, through his heroes/heroines, loves the beach life. Don't we all?

Summary: The characters in this book were wonderful.
Comment: I usually read Westerns, but because I vacation at the beach in the summer, White Dolphin Blues caught my eye and I'm glad it did. This one had as many thrills as my Westerns, and as many colorful characters too. I recommend it highly.
