The Christmas spirit is overtaking Tradd Street with a vengeance in this festive new novel in the New York Times bestselling series by Karen White.Melanie Trenholm should be anticipating Christmas with nothing but joy–after all, it’s the first Christmas she and her husband, Jack, will celebrate with their twin babies. But the ongoing excavation of the centuries-old cistern in the garden of her … cistern in the garden of her historic Tradd Street home has been a huge millstone, both financially and aesthetically. Local students are thrilled by the possibility of unearthing more Colonial-era artifacts at the cistern, but Melanie is concerned by the ghosts connected to the cistern that have suddenly invaded her life and her house–and at least one of them is definitely not filled with holiday cheer….
And these relics aren’t the only precious artifacts for which people are searching. A past adversary is convinced that there is a long-lost Revolutionary War treasure buried somewhere on the property that Melanie inherited–untold riches rumored to be brought over from France by the Marquis de Lafayette himself and intended to help the Colonial war effort. It’s a treasure literally fit for a king, and there have been whispers throughout history that many have already killed–and died–for it. And now someone will stop at nothing to possess it–even if it means destroying everything Melanie holds dear.

First off I love Karen White books and her Tradd Street series. This book I almost wanted to throw across the room when I was finished. I did not like the ending but I understand it. I thought the story dragged a bit at times or maybe just too many things going on. I find Melanie annoying and wimpy, I just want to shake her! I will be patiently waiting for the next one to see what happens
The Christmas Spirits on Tradd Street by Karen White is an excellent read. Karen White definitely knows how to weave a good story. All of the regular Tradd Street characters are back. The spirits are still making appearances and some causing trouble but not as much as Marc Longo. There seems to be a black aura around him. Meanwhile, another ghost wants Melanie to help solve her murder. I did not like the ending at all. Great read. Would definitely recommend.
