Publisher's summary

In the fourth novel in the New York Times best-selling Tradd Street series, Charleston realtor Melanie Middleton is determined to leave the past behind her. But history has a tendency of catching up with her, whether she likes it or not....

Melanie is only going through the motions of living since refusing Jack Trenholm’s marriage proposal. She misses him desperately, but her broken heart is the least of her problems. Despite an insistence that she can raise their child alone, Melanie is completely unprepared for motherhood, and she struggles to complete renovations on her house on Tradd Street before the baby arrives.

When Melanie is roused one night by the sound of a ghostly infant crying, she chooses to ignore it. She simply does not have the energy to deal with one more crisis. That is, until the remains of a newborn buried in an old christening gown are found hidden in the foundation of her house.

As the hauntings on Tradd Street slowly become more violent, Melanie decides to find out what caused the baby’s untimely death, uncovering the love, loss, and betrayal that color the house’s history - and threaten her claim of ownership. But can she seek Jack’s help without risking her heart? For in revealing the secrets of the past, Melanie also awakens the malevolent presence that has tried to keep the truth hidden for decades....

I’ll be sad when I am done with this series

Love this series and the soft tones of the narrator. I hope I can pick up on Nola’s series when I am done.

Loved

I am slowly making my way through this series and enjoying it thoroughly. This book is yet another example of Karen White’s ability to loop together wonderful storytelling with imagery that brings the South to life.

I can't

best book in the series so far!!! each book just gets better and better. love it!!!!

It’s good

I enjoyed the story over all but there were parts the kind of ruined it. She spends a weekend with Mark but goes blushing virgin with jack? That part was really bad. The quirks started to slip into Asperger’s. Light read 100% but inconsistent

Love this author!

Karen White is a fantastic storyteller. She portrays the people of Charleston, along with their homes, excellently. Aimee Bruneau is amazing!

Loved this book!

So many twists and turns, at times hard to follow. In the end, an excellent read!

Enjoying this whole series.

Just downloaded the last three. So enjoying this series. Love intrigue twist and turns. It’s a fantastic web that is being spun for the listeners. The characters each have their own personalities and the performer truly makes you believe each character. To be admired. Usually I speed up books speed by this series I keep it at normal for every delicious word.

Tradd Street Series 1-4

I have loved this series so far. I’ve never yelled at a fictional character as much as I have Melanie, but sometimes it’s nice to have that outlet, and she really is a good person. Because I never knew what she would do next, apart from a certainty that it would make me yell, I felt the need to look at blurbs and reviews before buying each book, to make sure I wasn’t being set up for a serious annoyance. From reviews beyond this title, I gathered one might be forthcoming.

I was very pleased with the way this 4th book ended, and think it’s a great place to end the series. In fact, I wonder if the author may have at first intended to end it here. In any case, I’m not sure I will continue listening beyond this point. However, I highly recommend the first four books. They’re like cozy mysteries with ghosts. There’s drama, humor, etc. —everything I hoped for when I started. I feel confident that if you are considering this series, you won’t be disappointed by the end of this book. Beyond this point, I cannot say.

Finally!!!

I love this series!!! It was about time Jack & Melly figured “it” out. This series got even more fantastic with the introduction of Sarah & JJ. I might just finish this entire series before Thanksgiving!

Great series

This book is great keeps me entertained while doing mundane chores around the house loved the story and the performance
