Synopsis

In the fourth novel in the New York Times bestselling 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...

Goodreads review by Cortney - on March 12, 2020

I feel like a lot of the story was fast-forwarded... one chapter was before Christmas, and then the next was February. I guess that was to span Melanie's whole pregnancy, but it just felt like we were missing parts of the story. Still liked it, will definitely keep going with the books, but it was pr......more

Goodreads review by Chris on July 08, 2019

So fun! ~~~~~~~~~ From the very first page I knew this was gonna be a great read. It’s unique, fun, and a little bit quirky, but that’s what’s great about it. Definitely not your run-of-the-mill mystery because this one includes ghosts and people that can see ghosts and hear them. Talk to them and fee......more

Goodreads review by Laura • lauralovestoread on December 05, 2019

As if I could rate this series any less. Probably my least favorite of the series so far, (just because I wanted Melanie and Jack to solve their issues already), but still such a fun mystery and plot, filled with ghosts as I’ve come to know and love from this series. This time Melanie hears the cries......more

Goodreads review by Judy on February 07, 2017

Return to Tradd Street was definitely my favorite in the series as have read them all, among many of Karen White’s books. I purchased from audible.com and the narrator was excellent, capturing the slow southern charm of Charleston, SC. (a hotel consultant, have clients in Charleston; love visiting f......more
