I enjoyed the story quite a bit, but the title is deceiving.  I expected ghosts, maybe some moody southern gothic touches.  There was a ghost, but only one person ever saw her, and the sightings all took place "off screen."  One of my favorite topics in novels is home restoration.  I love to hear about wood trim and plaster, peeling off layers of updates to bring back the original charm of a home. There was quite a bit of restoration discussed in the book, I liked the descriptions of the rooms and their purposes.  Throw in a few history lessons, and I'm hooked!

The main characters were charming, if a bit underdeveloped.  There were some unexpected twists that I increased my interest, and everyone loves a good love story!  All in all, very readable and entertaining.
