Summary
Meg Dawson and the rest of the Morrisey residents can’t handle anymore surprises in their beloved downtown Seattle apartment building. So, when Meg finds a secret staircase leading down to the famous Seattle Underground, she’s tempted to turn back. The area was supposed to be closed off long ago.
But turning back isn’t so easy when she stumbles on not one, but two bodies in the hidden space. And even though the two deaths are separated by a century, the victims have more in common than Meg first realizes.
Meg must sort through the Underground’s storied past to find the truth about who or what took the two lives if she has any hope of stopping it from happening once more. This time, the next body might not take a hundred years to show up.

Don't keep this book a secret
I loved this book, both to read and listen too. The whole idea of hidden passageways between rooms and now secret stairways has caught my imagination and the author's, as she is having a lot of fun with this series and even managed to take you back in time. My inner child, that wants to play detective, is shouting I want to live there and go exploring but the adult me "What with all the dead bodies and ghosts? No thanks!" A real delightful series no matter which part of you is listening. The characters are so like able and it does feel like a big family that you have joined, the ghostly element is a fun twist and I like how they get involved in solving the cases with there unique skills. However I think it is the mystery side that really has me hooked. The author cleverly weaves two separate case together in a way that keeps you guessing in both, as Meg tries to solve a murder of a flapper girl to help her ghost move on and a present day murder in order to stop a killer. I was surprised when the murderer was revealed (in both cases). I could easily imagine this getting made into a tv show. Move over Cabot cove the Morrisey building is the new murder central for me. I can't wait for the next book.
After the murder that took place in the Morrisey building the residents are up in arms and want better protection from there building supervisor. Meg finds herself getting volunteered to help out, mainly because nobody wants to go into the basement with all the spiders. Instead of spiders she finds a staircase she didn't know existed. At the bottom of the stairs she finds a skeleton and a more recent dead body. With the police investigating the obvious murder Meg sets out to investigate the bones, especially as she is the only one with insider knowledge. Can she help the ghost move on by solving her murder? Then things get complicated when she discovers there is a connection between the two bodies, a feud that has gone back generations. Can what happened to the ghost be the cause of the modern death? There is only one way to find out but investigating means she gets noticed by the families and maybe the killer.
I like the narrator. She does a good job of keeping the listener entertained until the very end, with unique voices.
