A Study In Shadows

By William John Locke

This is an exciting story of two friends, Felicia and Katherine, who fall in love with the same man. The story is set in a boarding house in Geneva, home to mostly women and one older man. Things sometimes get a little bitter among the women in the place. Twenty-year-old Felicia and thirty-year-old Katherine stay good friends despite the many quarrels between the women of the home and help shelter each other in difficult times. As the story moves forward, the dull boarding house fills with drama when the man's son Raine comes to visit, and both the friends fall in love with him. He can't decide which one of the two friends he wants to be with for a while, but finally, it becomes clear which one has his heart. Can he be with the woman he loves, or does the story have even more drama? The curiosity ends later in the novel. This story is a delightful quick read by British novelist William John Locke.
