Nosy Neighbors

Shelley House, in Chalcot, England, was once an impressive mansion with a grand history. That’s how Dorothy Darling saw it when she moved in 30 years ago. Now it’s run-down, with safety issues that Dorothy regularly reports to the landlord, but no one listens to a 77-year-old woman who spies on the tenants of the other five flats. Dorothy is sure the uproar of the summer started when the girl with pink hair, Kat Bennett, became roommate to Joseph Chambers. Kat, just as irascible as Dorothy, blames it on the night Joseph gathered the tenants when they learned they were to be evicted to make room for a new apartment complex. Only Joseph was willing to spend days protesting in front of the landlord’s office. But the tenants come together in anger when Kat finds Joseph knocked out and bleeding on his living room floor. Chalcot doesn’t normally host attempted murders, break-ins, and car chases, until the protests start. Kat and Dorothy are united only in their determination to save Shelley House.
