Murder is Uncooperative

A housing co-op mystery

Finding an apartment can be murder. All single mom Rebecca Butler wants is a good home for her young son and disabled father. At first Waterview Housing Co-op seems perfect. But then she finds the body of the building’s manager.

When Rebecca discovers that another murder took place in the building twenty years ago, she suspects the two deaths might be related. One of the neighbours in Rebecca’s new home is hiding a secret that will soon put Rebecca and her family in danger.
