THE RESTORER The Graveyard Queen, Book 1

Amelia Gray is a Southern gal who repairs gravestones and restores cemeteries to their former glory. And Gray can see ghosts—not harmless spirits but spiritual vampires who attach themselves to people and suck out their life energy. Narrator Khristine Hvam draws the listener in with a Charleston twang and a variety of Southern dialects, including Gullah, each slightly and delightfully different. She speaks with a vulnerability that creates an affection for the characters, especially Amelia. When people begin showing up murdered in a cemetery, it's up to Amelia to help the roguishly handsome detective solve the crimes—without falling victim to the spirits she's trying to lay to rest.
