Summary: Mediocre Ending to a Great Series
Review: This 39th and final adventure of the Trixie Belden series seems to have come the complete circle. As the "Secret of the Mansion" started with only Honey and Trixie figuring out the mystery, in this adventure only Trixie and Honey are off to Minnesota with Regan to check out an Arabian horse farm. However, strange things start happening on the farm and Trixie must determine if the ghost of a cattle-stealing ruffian is to blame or someone much more human.In this book, we have a resurfacing of the anti-development themes first introduced in "The Sasquatch Mystery" and the "Mystery at Maypenny's." But we also have Honey and Trixie acting pretty ridiculously to aid a ghost-hunter and search out the legend of the ghost. The mystery in this one was probably the most predictable of all of the books (there is only one suspect) and the book was so short that very few plot twists had time to develop. Although I like Honey and Trixie the best, I must admit that I missed the interaction of the other Bob-Whites. Overall, this book is a must-read for a Trixie die-hard, but a very disappointing ending to an otherwise fantastic series.
