Synopsis

My name is Amelia Gray, and I'm a cemetery restorer who lives with the dead. An anonymous donor has hired me to restore Woodbine Cemetery, a place where the rich and powerful bury their secrets. Forty years ago, a child disappeared without a trace and now her ghost has awakened, demanding that I find out the truth about her death. Only I know that she was murdered. Only I can bring her killer to justice. But the clues that I follow—a haunting melody and an unnamed baby's grave—lead me to a series of disturbing suspects.

For generations, the Devlins have been members of Charleston's elite. John Devlin once turned his back on the traditions and expectations that came with his birthright, but now he has seemingly accepted his rightful place. His family's secrets make him a questionable ally. When my investigation brings me to the gates of his family's palatial home, I have to wonder if he is about to become my mortal enemy.

Goodreads review by RachelW (BamaGal) on February 28, 2017

First off, it you haven't been keeping up with the series, this is not the book to start with. These stories are not standalone reads; some plots and the character development builds from book to book. If you are a regular reader, though, you are in for a treat, albeit an uneven one. As always, the......more

Goodreads review by Magdalena aka A Bookaholic Swede on September 19, 2017

I had thought to read this series from the beginning, but when I got approved for this one on NetGalley did I change my plans. Sure, there is always the risk of not getting into the story when you decide to not start from the beginning. But, I'm glad to say that I had no problems with this book. Firs......more

Reviewed at Cross My Heart Writings & Reviews *Many thanks to the publisher for an arc of this book via Netgally. "Shush...lest she awaken..."
