Gilda Joyce: Psychic Investigator

Here comes yet another post. (Four in one day!!! Has BYS gone mad???) Gilda Joyce: Private Investigator. Doesn't sound exactly like a book I would read, but I decided to give it a go because I had to read a few books on the school list. I thought the book was a bit on the boring side. The plot was anticlimactic, the characters didn't seem too consistent, and there was hardly any kind of action or a plot twist. I mean, it's a mystery. It's got to have at least ONE unexpected moment. Should you read it? Meh, not really.

Gilda Joyce has some very detailed plans on being a psychic investigator when she grows up. Sadly, everyone else thinks she's too old to be playing "games" like that. Gilda, however, has found a way to see exactly how good she is at her kind of work. She moves in with her mom's cousin, Mr. Splinter, and his daughter Juliet. Soon, Gilda and Juliet find themselves searching for the ghost of Mr. Splinter's sister, who apparently committed suicide. The two eighth-graders must find out the reason her ghost is still around. Could it be related to the many family secrets Mr. Splinter must be guarding?
