Review Detail

            Gilda Joyce Psychic Investigator is not my usual choice of book but I am glad I decided to try something new because I really enjoyed reading it! Jennifer Allison did an extraordinary job when writing this book and I hope to read more of her writing in the future. This mystery book is fun, humorous and very intriguing.

            This book is about a young girl named Gilda who has a passion for writing and hopes to flourish in her career as a Psychic Investigator. When she tells her whole eighth-grade class that she is going to San Francisco this summer and becomes completely determined to not make this statement a lie, she contacts her mother's cousin, Lester Splinter whom her mother hasn't seen in years, requesting an invitation to go stay with him and his daughter.

            Gilda had almost lost all hope when she finally receives a letter back from Mr. Splinter saying that he would love for her to come and stay with them. Gilda was absolutely delighted and when she was granted permission from her mother, flew off to California. When she gets to the Splinter's huge mansion she discovers the mystery of Mr. Splinter's sister who jumped from a window and figures that she is going to be the one to solve it.

            Gilda and Juliet, Mr. Splinter's daughter, attempt to solve the mystery together and must fight through their differences, keep secret's from Juliet's father and hopefully not get caught. Will Gilda and Juliet discover what happened to Aunt Melanie and why she appears to be haunting Juliet or will their discoveries only end up getting them into a heap of trouble?

            This book is really great and I hope that you will read it and enjoy it as well. I will warn you though this book does include some pretty freaky ghost encounters and a lot of other unexplainable incidents do occur, so if you don't like that kind of stuff I wouldn't read it but if you do you will absolutely love reading this book!
