This is an absolutely sensational book that will grasp your mind from cover to cover. Do they succeed? What did they see in the tower? Do they find out what really happened to Juliet’s aunt? Is the house really haunted? Armed with Gilda’s numerous hilarious and brilliant ideas, Gilda and Juliet tried desperately to get into the tower without being caught to find answers to all the mysteries. However the girls are strictly forbidden to enter the tower. Soon Gilda hears the footsteps and strange sound at night herself and decides to solve the mystery once and for all. One day she “fell” out of the window on top of the spooky tower to her death. Juliet had an aunt who was an artist and acted very bizarre sometimes. As Gilda warms up to the family, Juliet starts revealing some of the mysteries around the house.
She is anything but thrilled to see Gilda at first. Her cousin, Juliet, is a frail, skinny, and solitary girl who is also 13. Footsteps are heard late at night in the house, and strange sounds come from a mysterious tower connected to the house. The first person she meets there is the housekeeper who tells her the mansion the Splinters live in is haunted. Thirteen years old Gilda Joyce, a self-claimed psychic investigator, is going to San Francisco to visit a newly discovered distant and rich uncle, Lester Splinter and his daughter, Juliet. Get ready for a gut-wrenching and mind-blowing ride! Scary, mysterious, suspenseful and, at the same time, exciting and funny are all the feelings that I felt as I read through the book. Review: Haunted mansion, footsteps at night, suicide, spooky tower, and séances! They all come together in my current favorite book, Gilda Joyce, Psychic Investigator, (which is a first in a series) by Jennifer Allison.
