"The Girl at Central" by Geraldine Bonner is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around the murder mystery involving Sylvia Hesketh, a beautiful and wealthy young woman who is brutally killed shortly after a heated quarrel with her stepfather. The narrative is relayed through the perspective of Molly Morganthau, a telephone operator in Longwood, New Jersey, who becomes embroiled in the unfolding drama. At the start of the book, we are introduced to the shock and confusion following Sylvia's murder. Molly reflects on her life and background, painting a picture of her small-town existence while recounting the eerie events surrounding the Hesketh family's turmoil. She describes the local village of Longwood, setting the stage for the main event: Sylvia's mysterious disappearance after a planned elopement with Jack Reddy. As Molly delves into the details, it becomes evident that tensions at Mapleshade, the family estate, are high, with unresolved conflicts and secrets that point toward potential motivations for murder. Events unfold rapidly, laying the groundwork for a gripping exploration of love, jealousy, and the complexities of human relationships against a backdrop of suspense.
