Description
Colaba, May 2020; Lockdown, Day 46: Baman Marker, the Chairperson of
Daisy and Lily Apartments, is found poisoned in his home. He dies soon after.
The twin apartments are sealed, so the murderer could have only been one of
the residents.
The news shakes fifteen-year-old Nandini Venkat, a devourer of murder
mysteries, out of her stupor. After all, didn't she spot a pair of legs climbing
up and down the stairs that deadly night... With her not-so-alert twin, Ved,
and BFF Shanaya, she begins an investigation.
But the Chairperson knew every little dirty detail about every single resident,
so the list of suspects is long. Was it Mr Carvalho-Nandini's crush Daniel's
father-with his shady past? Or Shanaya's mother, Amrita Aunty, who had
a running feud with Baman? Or mean old retired principal Lina Almeida
who now makes lethal detox smoothies? Or the old and immobile Mr
Alimchandani with a long-buried secret?
The seemingly listless days of the lockdown, when secrets and tensions
bubbled below the surface, come back to life in this gripping and entertaining
whodunit. With Murder at Daisy Apartments, bestselling author Shabnam
Minwalla brings her phenomenal gift for dramatic storytelling to a new genre.
