About this listen

THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

Karen White invites you to explore the brick-walked streets of Charleston in her fifth Tradd Street novel, where historic mansions house the memories of years gone by, and restless spirits refuse to fade away...

With her extended maternity leave at its end, Melanie Trenholm is less than thrilled to leave her new husband and beautiful twins to return to work, especially when she’s awoken by a phone call with no voice on the other end—and the uneasy feeling that the ghostly apparitions that have stayed silent for more than a year are about to invade her life once more.

But her return to the realty office goes better than she could have hoped, with a new client eager to sell the home she recently inherited on South Battery. Most would treasure living in one of the grandest old homes in the famous historic district of Charleston, but Jayne Smith would rather sell hers as soon as possible, guaranteeing Melanie a quick commission.

Despite her stroke of luck, Melanie can’t deny that spirits—both malevolent and benign—have started to show themselves to her again. One is shrouded from sight, but appears whenever Jayne is near. Another arrives when an old cistern is discovered in Melanie’s backyard on Tradd Street.

Melanie knows nothing good can come from unearthing the past. But some secrets refuse to stay buried....

Critic reviews

“From the beginning of this page-turner to the spine-tingling, breath-stealing battle ending, White’s master storytelling and sophisticated dialogue will ensnare readers...The side characters are brilliant in their own right, each one playing an intricate role in the tale. But as with each novel in this series, it’s the compulsive, insecure but constantly self-improving protagonist Melanie who is the show-stealer—although now she shares the stage with her ever-growing family.”—RT Book Reviews

“One of the most highly anticipated books of the new year...White’s writing just gets better and better.”—The Huffington Post

“Readers will be kept enthralled with the scenes of historic Southern houses and spooky happenings....[Karen White] never disappoints with her spellbinding plot and cast of characters.”—Crimespree Magazine

Great book! Love the mystery surrounding the old houses. All of the family secrets that eventually must come to light. I love all of Karen White’s books. The narration was good except for one thing. I live in central Alabama, near Birmingham and the way the narrator says it makes me cringe! Here we pronounce it Birming-ham. That is ham like a ham that you eat! The narrator pronounced it as Birmingam. As they say it in England. Other than that it is perfect!!

Another win by Karen White
