Books like The house on Tradd Street by Karen White
Melanie Middleton, a practical real‑estate agent in Charleston, South Carolina, is known for her affection for historic buildings—though she rarely admits to seeing ghosts. When an elderly man she recently met dies, she inherits his Tradd Street home. The house comes complete with a housekeeper, a dog, and a family of ghosts eager to reveal their stories.
Jack Trenholm, an attractive writer fixated on unsolved mysteries, becomes interested in the mansion after learning that diamonds from the Confederate Treasury might be hidden within its walls. His pursuit draws him—and Melanie—into a web of romance, danger and lingering spirits.
Together, Melanie and Jack must decipher the house’s hidden history, confront a malevolent ghost, and solve a mystery that mixes passion, heartbreak, and murder.
