Publisher's 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.

Murder and Ghosts

This book starts a new series for Eryn Scott in the vein of Only Murders in the Building. Meg Dawson sees ghosts, especially her best friend. When a recluse mystic unexpectedly dies at he Morrisey under strange circumstances and a new ghost appears with no memory, Meg is determined to get to the bottom of the mystery.

In typical Eryn Scott fashion, this is a cute, cozy mystery. I very much enjoyed this book and I look forward to future adventures at the Morrisey.

Natalie Duke does an excellent job with the narration. She is easy to listen to and voices the characters very well. I enjoyed listening to her.

A fun new series!

This was such a fun read! It had elements from the Pebble Cove series that I loved. Eryn Scott has written some great characters in this series. It made me want to move into the Morrisey! I can’t wait to see what comes next!
