Creating The Illustrations - Margaret The Housekeeper
All the illustrations were created on an Apple iPad.

One morning Margaret the Housekeeper found a dead man in a room used by a visiting sex worker. The man had had a heart attack and the sex worker had long disappeared, leaving it for her to find. She was a Catholic and was appalled at what went on in the boarding house. She would complain about the things left behind by visiting guests, but a dead body was the limit. She would often say to my mother, who is standing in the doorway, “It’s a madhouse working here”... and indeed, in many ways, it was.

Here is just one of the 40 illustrations and stories in the book.
