I’ve been looking forward to bedtime each day this week because of Gemini Moon. Reading this novel by Maria Grazia Swan has been my reward after too many hours working on end-of-the-year tasks. The characters are complex and believable, the plot is fascinating, and the suspense is psychological as well as physical. Just the right combination to pull me right into the story each time I opened the book.The story opens in a happy moment as Lella York is finalizing a surprise birthday gift for a friend, but the idea backfires quickly. The normalcy of her life starts slipping sideways when a friend disappears and her son is accused of a crime. She meets a detective who brings as many questions as he does answers. When Lella suspects her trusting nature allowed others to take advantage of her, she questions the present and the past until finally finding the answers she seeks.Kathleen Norris once said “Just the knowledge that a good book is awaiting one at the end of a long day makes that day happier.”This Norris quote beautifully sums up my thoughts about Gemini Moon, and is the reason I’ll anxiously await the next book in the Lella York series. Brava!
