The book, Gilda Joyce: Psychic Investigator, by  Jennifer Allison, the main character, Gilda, goes on an investigation, to see who killed her Aunt Melanie. She had gone to San Fransisco to stay at her uncle's house when see meets her cousin, Juliet Splinter. They find newspapers in her uncle's mansion saying her Aunt Melanie had died mysteriously. They both had to know what her cause of death was. This experience made them very good friends when at the beginning they despised each other. As they had tried to find out what the cause of death was, Gilda had written all of her foundings on her "Magic Typewriter". She had believed that everything she had written on it would be read by her dead father.

I really enjoyed this book. I had read this book last year, and I still find remember the plot by heart. This book was very interesting. It involved action pact scenes and very unique and entertaining characters. The author wrote it in a very simple way, which made everything very easy to understand. I really enjoyed how fast past this story went, which prevents it from being boring to read. One thing that I did not like about the book, is that it did not teach the reader a lesson that could be used in life, which is something a good story needs. If you like an action pact, murder mystery book, you will enjoy this book.
