Excerpt from The Girl at Central
Now for you to rightly get what I'm going to tell I'll have to begin with a description of Longwood village and the country round about. I've made a sort of diagram - it isn't drawn to scale but it gives the general effect.

Excerpt from The Girl at Central
Oor Sylvia Hesketh! Even now, after this long time, I can't think of it with out a shudder, without a comeback of the horror of those days after the murder. You remember it - the Hesketh mystery? And mystery it surely was, baffling, as it did, the police and the populace of the whole state. For who could guess why a girl like that, rich, beautiful, without a care or an enemy, should be done to death as she was. Think of it at five o'clock sitting with her mother taking tea in the library at Mapleshade and that same night found dead - murdered - by the side of a lonesome country road, a hundred and eigh teen miles away.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. At the heart of this riveting mystery lies a young telephone operator named Molly Morganthau, whose astute observations of conversations through her switchboard lead her deep into a complex web of tangled relationships and hidden secrets within her quaint New Jersey village. Set in the early 1900s, a time of social constraints and limited communication technology, the author skillfully weaves the narrative around Molly's unique perspective as a woman navigating a male-dominated field. As the story unfolds, Molly's chance involvement in a high-stakes murder case not only puts her in danger but also reveals the dark undercurrents beneath her community's genteel facade. With remarkable insight, the author delves into the motivations and desires of those involved, exploring the complexities of love, class, and reputation. The ensuing tale challenges societal norms, as Molly's resourcefulness and bravery come to light, illuminating the hidden strengths of women in a world that often overlooked them. Ultimately, this book is a compelling testament to the human spirit's ability to uncover the truth and triumph over adversity, leaving readers with a profound appreciation for the power of observation, resilience, and the fight for justice.
