Murder on the Ghost Walk — Ellen Elizabeth Hunter

EARTHLY REMAINS

Home to some of the Old South's most famous ghost walks, historic Wilmington's "haunted" mansions delight thrill seekers and the curious alike. For Ashley Wilkes, newly commissioned to work as historic preservationist on one of Orange Street's stunning antebellum homes, it's not ghosts she tangles with, but actual dead bodies.

Two skeletons -- possibly the remains of owners believed to have left town suddenly and under strange circumstances -- have added more spice to the season. Ashley starts poking around, suspecting there is more to the grisly discovery than meets the eye. As she digs into the walls and the mystery, she finds shocking clues that tell her a killer is poised and ready to strike...before she uncovers the scandalous truth at the heart of the crime.
