Gilda Joyce: The Dead Drop, Jennifer Allison

Gilda Joyce: The Dead Drop, by Jennifer Allison
Juvenile/Teen, 2009

Gilda Joyce, the teenage psychic investigator heads to Washington D.C. for the summer to intern at the National Spy Museum. Having, as usual, fudged a bit and exaggerated on her application she comes to the nation's capitol equipped with all sorts of outrageous disguises and thrift store clothing. As she soon discovers, all is not well at the museum and there appears to be a haunting. Gilda sets out in her quirky, boisterous way to try to figure out what happened to the spy whose ghost is lurking in the museum.
As usual, Allison delivers a fun to read psychic mystery in this the fourth Gilda Joyce novel. Gilda, always the eccentric continues to entertain with her witty insights and hilarious antics. A fun read, as were the previous three novels, Gilda Joyce Psychic Investigator, Gilda Joyce and the Ladies of the Lake and Gilda Joyce and the Ghost Sonata. Check out Allison's website here. This was actually one of the better books in the series in my opinion. Grade: B+
