The Georgetown trilogy is a series of supernatural thrillers set in the historic neighborhood of Georgetown in Washington, D.C. Each book features a different main character, but the common thread between them is the picturesque Georgetown and its sinister, paranormal legacy, which haunts the town.

The books blend gothic romance and mystery elements that keep readers in suspense. Some readers have pointed out that the first book (Ammie, Come Home) is mildly dated (it was written in 1968), but Barbara Michaels’ skillful writing continues to make the spooky tales enjoyable in the present day.

Each book in the trilogy can be read on its own, without reading the others. However, Barbara does include references from earlier books into the later ones, so that readers will get an extra layer of enjoyment by reading them in order.
