Nice Edition for All Susanna Kearsley Fans

Although less known and less complicated than her bestselling romantic thrillers,"The Splendour Falls", "the Shadowy Horses" and "Marianna", "The Gemini Game" offers a well-crafted story in less than 200 pages. After eight years building a career in Pittsburg, Karen Caldwell arrives back at her South Carolina home after receiving an anonymous telegram pleading for her return. One of her older twin brothers, Alex, killed in a tragic automobile accident leaves the family circling like buzzards over the remains of the family estate, a wealthy racehorse stud and training farm. Imagine when out of the blue, after eight long years away, Karen steps back into their lives and inherits the property and the 14 million dollars that goes with it. Suddenly, Karen finds herself in the center of unwanted attention, particularly male attention. When she finds herself falling in love, Karen must factor her newfound wealth into her analysis of her true feelings. In addition to this, she realizes that before Alex's death, he and his twin Nick were playing what they called, "the Gemini Game", a game where they switched places just for fun . . . as she wrestles with the game's implications, she discovers that her inheritance has put her own life in jeopardy . . . As you can see, this novel includes all the right ingredients for a few hours of escapist reading. Although Kearsley's more recent novels contain more complicated plot twists and some elements of the supernatural, her talent shines through in this smaller work. Immediately the character of Karen engages; Kearsley's knack of making the ordinary come to life works well with her sense of timing and story-telling ability. Recommended for all Susanna Kearsley fans as they await her next bestseller.
