The House on Tradd Street

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.

I got into the ghosts, which surprised me! The story is just suspenseful enough with enough clues so that I didn't get bamboozled by the ending. The House on Tradd Street ended up being an easy read for me and kept me going on walks as I listened to it. Nicely narrated, and I enjoyed listening to it a 1.25 speed. Giving it a 4, not sure why; and I do plan to give the second book in the series a try.

This is exactly the type of book that I love to read. It really influenced me to think of ideas for my own historical mystery...there need to be more of these around!
