The Absent Pearls
A Light-Hearted Yet Suspenseful Murder Mystery
What happens when starting college means starting a new life — and uncovering an old secret?

With a new roommate, new friendships, and the chaos of college life, she slowly begins finding her place. But something about her father’s death has never felt right.

As Brinda begins looking into her father’s past, her journey takes her deeper into secrets she never expected to uncover. Between law-school chaos, friendship, family, grief, and plenty of sarcasm, she finds herself caught in a mystery where trusting the wrong person could change everything.
