Cemetery Restorer Amelia Gray has been hired to restore Woodbine Cemetery, an old graveyard outside of Charleston. As her work on the cemetery progresses, Amelia sees the ghost of a child is standing over the grave of an unnamed baby. Amelia pretends not to see the ghost, but that doesn't stop the ghost from haunting her. As the ghost child becomes destructive toward Amelia, she decides to begin investigating the identity of the ghost child and the unnamed baby.

This is the last book in the Graveyard Queen series. Like the other books in the series, the writing is very atmospheric...you feel like you are in Charleston with Amelia while she is working on the graves. I thought the first half of the story was a little slow. I believe all of the usual characters made an appearance in this book. The second half of the story was excellent. There was a lot of action. I couldn't stop listening to the book until I found out exactly what was happening. We finally find out why Devlin broke off his relationship with Amelia. It really wasn't much of a surprise. The author wrapped up the series with an excellent twist that left me satisfied with how it ended.

I listened to the audiobook narrated by Khristine Hvam. As usual, she did an excellent job. My rating: 4 Stars.
