Nixon, Joan. Spirit Seeker. NY: Bantam Doubleday,1995. 197 pages. (Mystery)
Holly is a normal teenager whose dad is a criminal investigator. To most people this sounds like an exciting job for their parent to have, but to Holly it’s just another long day fatherless. When her dad accepted the job, both her and her mom knew that he would be working long hours, but they miss the man they once knew. One night Holly’s dad was working very late hour, so she assumed he must just be on another case. When he came home, Holly was still awake. He told her he had bad news. Her boyfriend’s parents had just been murdered. Holly immediately rushes to the crime scene even though her father forbids her to. The crime investigators gather evidence and it all points to her boyfriend, Cody. Holly knows he’s innocent. Is Cody really the murderer? This book leads you from chapter to chapter with compelling details that keep you reading. I highly recommend this book.
Holly reminds me of one of my good friends, Mara because she is very determined but also quite gullible. She’s so set on what she believes that nothing or no one can change her mind. Holly and Mara are also very reliable and self-reliant.
