Treasure - Apartments - Detail

Each apartment has a very specific owner: the top is a fashionable twenty-something who loves the mid-century look. The next apartment houses the main character in my book dummy (Treasure Hunt), the little girl. Her father (behind the paper) has been everywhere and has the trappings to show it. Then there is the pink apartment — she has lived a long life and loves to listen to her vintage record collection. The bottom apartment is a stay-at-home programmer who is also a bike enthusiast.
