ROSEMARY ARCHER HAD walked through the entirety of her life with the Grim Reaper attached to her hip. Death followed her wherever she went; it was impossible to escape. It's like she had been cursed since the very second she took her first breath of air. She didn't remember her mother at all. In a way, Rosemary saw her mother's death as her own fault. Elizabeth Archer had given her daughter a life, but at the cost of her own. Next came her father. They had a less stereotypical relationship: they were each other's best friends. Until Bellamy Archer was shot in the head during a drive-by in Queens. Then came her grandmother who would raise the young girl as one of her own. And she gave Rosemary everything she had. Until one day she closed her eyes and let the peaceful darkness overtake her.

Suddenly, Rosemary was alone again. But she was never really alone. The black, shadowy figure beside her always kept her company, reminding her every chance it got of the losses that she had experienced.

With the inheritance left for her from her deceased family, Rosemary Archer makes a decision to buy an apartment in the Arconia, the renowned building in the Upper West Side of New York City, and a quaint coffee shop down the street. The smell of fresh caffeine and pastries was something that had comforted her for as long as she could remember. But of course, Rosemary had been paranoid and waiting. She had been expecting something to go wrong, because she had learnt over time that everything will eventually come down soon.

And that's exactly what happens. The death of a resident throws Rosemary back into the word of homicide, and her curious mind is joined by her neighbours as they create a podcast to solve exactly how Tim Kono had died and the mystery of who he really was.

There's a murderer in the building.

𝐎𝐑

𝐈𝐍 𝐖𝐇𝐈𝐂𝐇... Rosemary Archer connects deeply with another damaged soul and finds that maybe she actually doesn't have to do it all alone.

Welcome angels!!
The idea of this book has been in my head for over a year and I'm just so beyond obsessed with this show that I NEED to write it.

𝐃𝐈𝐒𝐂𝐋𝐀𝐈𝐌𝐄𝐑:

I do not own Only Murders In The Building. All the rights and credits go to the creators of the show. The same goes to any businesses, products, brands etc that are mentioned within this book. I only own my character, Rosemary Archer, her dialogue, scenes, and any other original characters that may be added or mentioned.

𝐖𝐀𝐑𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐒:

This book will contain: use of alcohol, mentions of usage of drugs, LOTS AND LOTS AND LOTS of coarse language, murder (obviously), violence and physically assault, detailed descriptions of wounds, injuries, and blood, struggles with mental health such as anxiety and PTSD, and any other topics that are mentioned throughout the show.

If I don't put a warning on a chapter that has descriptive themes of the above, please don't hesitate to mention it to me.

𝐆𝐑𝐀𝐏𝐇𝐈𝐂𝐒 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐂𝐑𝐄𝐃𝐈𝐓:

All graphics are made by me unless stated, and no one has the right to steal anything. I'm already a moody bitch so you really don't want to piss me off.

This layout is also mine. Even though I don't love it, it doesn't give anyone the right to take it. If you do (and I will find out), you can eat shit. Or just be polite and ask me if you can use it, cause 99% of the time I will say yes. Even if you want to use it for inspiration, please ask me or give credit when due. It's not that hard.

FYI, plagiarism in any form is actually illegal in most countries, so there you go hoes! That goes for my writing (just don't even try me), visuals, or anything else that is put in this fic.
