No coin nor oath required. For personal study only.
In a small town, everyone knows everyone elseβs business . . .Nobody knows the people of Wooster, Ohio, better than switchboard operator Vivian Dalton. She calls it intuition. Her teenage daughter, Charlotte, calls it eavesdropping.
Vivian and the other women who work at Bell on East Liberty Street connect lines and lives. They arenβt supposed to listen in on conversations, but they do, and they all have opinions on what they hearβespecially Vivian.
Then, one cold December night, Vivian listens in on a call between that snob Betty Miller and someone whose voice she canβt quite place and hears something shocking. Betty Millerβs mystery friend has news that, if true, will shatter Vivianβs tidy life in Wooster, humiliating her and making her the laughingstock of the town.
Vivian may be mortified, but she isnβt going to take this lying down. Sheβs going to get to the bottom of that rumorβget into it, get under it, poke around in the corners. Find every last bit. Vivian wants the truth, no matter how painful it may be.
But as Vivian is about to be reminded, in a small town like Wooster, one secret usually leads to another. . . .
