Publisher Description

The brilliant, chilling debut of Karen White's New York Times bestselling Tradd Street series, featuring a Charleston real estate agent who loves old houses—and the secret histories inside them. Practical Melanie Middleton hates to admit she can see ghosts. But she's going to have to accept it. An old man she recently met has died, leaving her his historic Tradd Street home, complete with housekeeper, dog—and a family of ghosts anxious to tell her their secrets. Enter Jack Trenholm, a gorgeous writer obsessed with unsolved mysteries. He has reason to believe that diamonds from the Confederate Treasury are hidden in the house. So he turns the charm on with Melanie, only to discover he's the smitten one... It turns out Jack's search has caught the attention of a malevolent ghost. Now, Jack and Melanie must unravel a mystery of passion, heartbreak—and even murder.

"The setting of this book is in Charleston where a woman (Melanie, who can see ghosts) inherits an old Charleston home from an old man that she barely knows. Or so she thinks. This book is a ghost story that is all about unraveling a mystery dating back to the Civil War AND the truth about what happened to the old man's mother. I really enjoyed this book and look forward to more in what is to become a series featuring Melanie."

    " For some reason I can't resist books about historical, slightly paranormal, mysteries, set in Charleston in big old mansions. I really liked the first Karen White book I read, On Folly Beach and enjoyed this one just as much. Melanie Middleton and I share a love of spreadsheets that's very real and very deep. :) "
