GEMINI FALLS Sean Wilson
If ever there was a novel that kept the reader wondering and interested in a time long gone, it has to be Gemini Falls..wonderfully crafted by Sean Wilson. He completely immerses you in the era of the 1930 Great Depression.
Morris, 13, a passionate would be astronomer and his older sister, Lottie, accompanied their detective father, Jude, to his home town..where he'd been sent to investigate a murder. With polio rampant in the city, he felt his children would be safer in the country. They would also meet family for the first time.
A young girl's body was found in puzzling circumstances..Morris is led by his 'new' cousin, Flo, who proclaims that they and Sam, the Mayor's son, should do their own investigation. Town folk are convinced that the 'down and outers' in the nearby squalid camp are to blame. The three children are soon convinced that they have found the perpetrator, but that was to change a few times...with perhaps the most unlikely murderer finally being identified.
An intriguing story, not easily forgotten.
