The place was in a bit of a state when they moved in, but hey &#8211; that&#8217;s the price you pay. They didn&#8217;t mind, though. They were up for the challenge.<\/p>\n<p>But it was just a few days into their project that Angel stumbled across a hidden safe under the floor. The safe was locked but she\u00a0had the code (having found it the previous day in an old medicine cabinet)\u00a0and so, naturally, she dived right in.

The book was called <em>A Guide for the Perplexed<\/em> by E.F.
