Being a very close friend of one of the major investors, Helen sets about to make sure her friend Alisdair is not duped into putting money into a porn magazine without his knowledge. Meanwhile back in the quiet hamlet of Lauderton, a surly policeman is terrorizing the town’s people and two old mysteries haunt Helen’s thoughts.
Did young Jamie really commit suicide in the waters of Powmillon? Or was someone responsible for his death? And what about the other drowning all those years ago? Pick up a copy of Secrets of the Powmillon to find out.
Tantalizing and suspenseful, Secrets of the Powmillon provides a great read. The characters are realistic, interesting and amusing all in one. Helen is like an old friend that the reader will easily identify with and she surrounds herself with quite a unique bunch of fellow conspirators. This reviewer found the setting to be of much interest. Having visited Edinburgh several times, it was easy to identify the local streets and businesses that Helen visits. Author Jean Gillespie brought back some wonderful memories of a beautiful city.
Author Jean Gillespie was born in South Lanarkshire, Scotland. She now resides with her husband in northern West Virginia. She travels to Scotland frequently for research. Her first novel was A Death on Faculty Row also published by Publish America.
