The fifth book in White's Tradd Street titles finds Melanie Middleton married to Jack Trenholm, the new mother of twins, and ready to return to work. On her first day back, Jayne Smith walks into the realty office to discuss selling the house that she has just inherited in historic Charleston, SC. Jayne doesn't know why she was chosen as the heir; she doesn't even like old houses. Her family mystery will open up unexpected wounds in Melanie's history as the guests in the house on South Battery turn out to be ghosts. Melanie's reluctant psychic abilities and her husband's research skills are now in demand. Aimee Bruneau has read all the Tradd Street novels (including Return to Tradd Street). Her attractive voice successfully portrays Melanie's cluelessness; however, Bruneau stays in soprano range, and all the high-pitched voices had this reviewers ears begging for some variety. Furthermore, her pacing doesn't quicken for potentially tense ghost scenes. Instead of imparting excitement, the narrator's slow drawl turns the action into a spoof.
