Summary
For as long as Meg Dawson can remember, she’s been able to see ghosts.
As much as Meg views it as a gift, she’s paid a price her ability; people often find her odd and quiet. Still, she wouldn’t trade her capabilities for anything because they brought her Ripley, her best friend. Having died in the car accident that killed Meg’s mom, Ripley sees it as her duty-after-death to watch over Meg and make sure she has a happy life.
Which is why, when Meg decides to quit her career as an artist and move back into her childhood apartment in the quirky Pioneer Square neighborhood of Seattle, Ripley’s not thrilled. Even though Ripley loves the Morrisey and its residents as much as Meg, she thinks Meg’s using the familiar building as a way to hide from her problems. The only upside, in Ripley’s mind, is that Meg’s childhood crush, Laurence, is also back in the building. It’s the perfect scenario for things to finally heat up between the two—or so Ripley keeps telling Meg. Meg’s first conversation with Laurence isn’t what she expected, however. As they attempt to get the reclusive Mr. Miller’s signature for a building initiative, Meg and Laurie discover the man’s body. At least, they think it’s him. No one has seen him for the past decade. When it comes to light that Miller was murdered, the first question on everyone’s minds is how the killer got Miller to open his door when he would barely crack it for grocery deliveries.
Suddenly, Meg doesn’t feel so protected in her sanctuary. If the man who stayed locked in his apartment can be murdered, are any of the Morrisey residents safe? Even though Meg grew up there, she’s about to find that her beloved building holds more secrets than she could’ve imagined.

Great start and I can't wait for the next
I loved this book on my kindle and just knew I would be adding it to my audio book collection. I was sad when the author brought her Pebble Cove teahouse series to an end but she is definitely back with a new and exciting series if this book is anything to judge from. I immediately connected with the characters, all of whom were likeable, in fact I had my fingers crossed that the killer wasn't one of the residents. Being able to talk to ghosts was a fun touch and certainly made the story entertaining, as did the cute animals. The author painted a very vivid picture with her words and cover art, so it was easy to imagine where everything unfolded. It was a well thought out mystery story with a number of unexpected twists and plenty of suspects (and actually crimes). I had no clue who the killer was when I read the book and to be honest I forgot how cleverly everything was connected. Really looking forward to the next book.
After Megan comes to terms with the fact that she will never be the artist she dreamed of, she returns home and becomes the newest resident of the Morrisey building. However her joyful return doesn't go as planned, when she and her boyhood crush Laurie discover the body of the reclusive tenant. He lived there before Megan left but Laurie remains the only person to have ever caught a glimpse of him, now they find themselves investigating his murder when Laurie receives a threatening note. Even Megan's ghost friend Ripley has never been able to enter his apartment, can the three of them find the motive behind the killing? Especially as nobody even knew him. At the same time a new ghost appears and Megan wonders if his story holds the key to explaining the death but with no memory he isn't much help. Does that mean the killer is a resident and someone she calls a friend.
I loved the narrator. She did some great sounding voices which really brought the characters to life in my mind. The author went with a different narrator with this book and although I will miss her usual narrator I think it was the right choice, as they are two different but very enjoyable series.
