My review is for the unabridged audio CD version of Unhallowed Ground. There were 8 CDs; about 9 hours of listening.
I thought the story was interesting and I liked the narrator.
While Sarah is having some remodeling done on the old Florida mansion that she has recently bought, they find a skeleton within the walls -- I read that on the back of the audio CD box and bought the CDs. Hey, you never know what stories old houses could tell you if they could speak.
The story has a little bit of romance between Caleb and Sarah, but not enough to make me regret my purchase (I like mystery stories, I don't read romance novels - it is just not me). One of the inhabitants of the house long ago was a housekeeper that practiced voodoo -- does this have a connection to recent missing persons? You will have to either read the book or listen to the story to find out.
The story is not heavy, gruesome, or have graphic scenes. I will probably listen to it again after awhile.

Heather Graham has always been hit or miss with me. This one is great until the very end where the bad guy suddenly "comes out of the closet" rather abruptly. It almost seemed as if the characters weren't getting to the correct conclusion fast enough, so the author just throw the confession out there. This would have had a 5 star rating except for the ending.

Out-of-towner Caleb Anderson is in St. Augustine searching for two women gone missing a year apart. Caleb is a paranormal investigator usually investigating something ghost related. Here he is in the ghost capital of the US so something ghostly definitely has to be happening. Sarah McKinley is a native who just returned to St. Augustine and purchased an historical mansion. During the renovations, bones have been discovered in one of the walls. The mysteries keep adding up: a body washes ashore, a man is found in the river dead in his car, a woman is attacked but survives, one of the investigators is acting suspicious, the appearance of a civil war ghost, and we can't forget about the disturbed earth in the cemetery.

I was disappointed in the ending but all the events leading up to it were very suspenseful and there wasn't any clues to the baddie. I hadn't a clue and was genuinely surprised.
