Return to Tradd Street

By: Karen White

Narrated by: Aimée Bruneau

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...

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 love these books

Honestly Karen Whites books have all been enjoyable but this series has gotten me through so pretty tough times. Thank you!

The OCD thing is getting to me.

Don't think I can do another book. It was a good series but each book is kind of the same.
