Synopsis (Goodreads):
After two murders on the premises, the manager of the Morrisey has cracked down on who has access to the building, buying the residents a few months of peace. But the increased security hasn’t made them immune to porch pirates. Packages are disappearing almost as soon as they’re delivered.Thoughts on A Poisoned Package: The residents of the Morrisey are back and they're dealing with a round of package thefts. Which doesn't sound nearly as bad as the bodies they dealt with previously, but when the thief in question ends up practically deceased when they stole the wrong package, Meg steps in to try to figure out who would want to end her neighbor.
The joke is on the thief when one of the packages contains poisoned truffles, and they consume what was meant for someone else. Another body in the Morrisey puts a damper on the upcoming holiday season.
Learning she was the intended target of the chocolates, overly dramatic Winnie Wisteria is inconsolable and quick to point fingers. But as the threats escalate, secretive Winnie must let the other residents into her life if she wants to stay alive. Helping her figure out who wants her dead takes Meg and her ghostly pals into the spotlight of Seattle’s theater scene. But when everyone’s acting, who can Meg believe? And will she find the killer before it becomes someone’s final curtain call?
After all, if the thief hadn't nibbled on the poisoned chocolates, Winnie would have. And then there WOULD have been a dead body on the premises.
The only problem? Winnie isn't exactly clamoring for Meg's help in figuring out who tried to do her in. Not that it stops Meg from doing what she does, but it does make things a little more difficult for our ghost-talking artist. Throw in a building with some very bad vibes, some actors with very bad attitudes, ghosts who have maintained their dislike of one another into the afterlife and Meg has a lot to sort through.
That said, she also has a handsome neighbor returning (however briefly) to make her holiday a little brighter.
Ghosts, surprise visits, backstabbing, anger issues, and a lady who is determined to get to the bottom of it all before someone else ends up hurt. *thumbs up*
