Rating:  Summary: A Fantastic Read Review: I would recommend Spirit Seeker to anyone interested in mysteries books. The story was very believable and the plot took many unexpected turns. The way that the author keeps you in suspense will intrigue you and you won't be able to put the book down. I am not very fond of reading but a few nights I found myself going late to bed because I was reading my book so much and for so long. If you enjoy grotesque, outrageous, and beliveable mysterys this book was published for you. Joan Lowery Nixion will pull you in by the first sentence and you won't be able to stop, you'll constantly think of who the Garnetts' murderer really is, and you won't be able to belive who it is in the end. Is Cody the murderer of his parents? Does Mr. Arlington, the nosy neighbor, have anything to do with it? Read this fantastic book to find out!
Rating:  Summary: A MUST READ BOOK! Review: I'm the kind of person who doesn't really like to read, but every so often I find a really good book, like Spirit Seeker. This book is a real thrill-seeker that will keep you at the edge of your seat. Once I started reading it, I just couldn't put it down! Not only is it a mystery story but there is telepathy, suspense, and conflict involved. The conflict is between Holly and her Father,the detective on the scene who thinks Cody is the murderer, Cody, whose parents were murdered, and Sarah, Holly's best friend who also believes Cody is the murderer, while Holly believes Cody is innocent. This is a major, must read book!
Rating:  Summary: Not The Usual Nixon Mystery, But Still Good!... Review: Joan Lowery Nixon is the best! How she mixes the perfect amount of humor, love, suspense, and fear all into one book astounds me! "Spirit Seeker" is among the many, awesome thrillers delivered by Ms. Nixon. Keep 'em coming! "Spirit Seeker" is about a girl named Holly Campbell. She has a huge problem! Her best friend -- Cody -- has just been accused of murdering his own parents! Her father is the lead detective on the case, and even he can't deny that all the clues point to Cody. He left his house after a heated argument with his parents, then returned later around the estimated time of death. Holly is positive that Cody wouldn't commit such an evil act, but how can she prove it? At the scene of the crime, a strange woman named Glenda Jordan stops Holly. She claims that she's a clairvoyant and can see things (that she hasn't physically seen) in her mind. At first, Holly thinks that Glenda is bogus. But then again, why does she call her "Amber Girl?" After all, lately her amber hairpin has been glowing strangely with heat. Can she really help Holly find the murderer, or is she just wasting her time? I though this book was good. Nixon has definitely written better. Strictly judging on mystery, I'd actually rate it poor. It had a more clairvoyant, fortune-teller, mystical feel to it (which in the end, turns out to have helped very little). I also think the main character could've dug deeper into the problem, instead of just insisting Cody was innocent. Unlike Nixon's others, there is no stalker, no detecting, and no surprise ending. Plus, Holly's endless, stubborn theory of Cody's innocence gets to be annoying....Overall, I sill think it'd be worth your time! Also recommended: "Name of the Game Was Murder," "Who Are You," "Nobody's There," and "Other Side of Dark," all by Joan Lowery Nixon! :)

Rating:  Summary: Good! Review: This book is good but not great. It is what you would call an almost book. It is pretty suspensful but it lacks one thing. Real mystery. At the end when you found out who did it you were not surprised. Yet it still gives you a thrill. I would rather rate it 3 1/2 stars but I can not do that.
