A teenage detective (and friends) investigate a murder in an apartment block during a lockdown
An excerpt from ‘Murder at Daisy Apartments’, by Shabnam Minwalla. Shabnam Minwala.
The Lily-Daisy Apartments chat became active early on Sunday morning in a most unexpected way. Mrs Kurien, Mini’s mother, woke up at dawn and realised that the milk pouches had not been left outside her door. Mrs Kurien is one of those people who go nuts if they don’t get their coffee first thing in the morning. The missing milk was a crisis.
Mrs Kurien peered outside the window but could not see the new night security guard. She was about to call out to him when she realised that she didn’t know his name. In fact, the only thing she knew about him was that he was incompetent.
