 The House on Tradd Street by Karen White ($14, New American Library) Atlanta-based White’s first novel in a new series that follows a Charleston real estate agent who has a feeling for more than the best home deals – she can also see ghosts. When a client leaves her an elegant mansion, a whole family of ghosts seeks her counsel, while a writer woos her while looking for hidden Confederate diamonds.
