Next Door Murder: The Apartment 8C: Mystery and Suspense Files, #2

By Catherine H. Ambrose

Mary Fanning is not dead; she's been murdered.

Jessica Flynn is about to exit her apartment as two police officers knock on her door. After a sleepless Friday night, and before the essential morning caffeine dose, she is informed that Mary Fanning, the loud and annoying tenant of 8C, is dead. She soon finds out that her neighbor has been murdered, and to get things even worse, she may be a suspect.

Jessica now must recall everything that happened the night before, cooperate with the insistent Detective Philippa Mortimer, and find time to sleep on top of that. Meantime, she begins to realize the residents of 116 Heinsbury Street are probably not who they seem to be.

Time is running up, well-hidden secrets are exposed, but the original question remains. Who killed Mary Fanning?

A short story by the author of "What's on True Crime Tonight?" Catherine H. Ambrose.

Mary Fanning is dead. Absolutely, drop down dead. Two police officers knocked on my door at 6.50 am this morning and broke the news as I was about to put my Nikes on. Usually, I don’t get up this early on a Saturday, but the truth is I hardly slept last night. So, I decided to go for a run before consuming an adequate quantity of caffeine to kickstart the day.
