Reviews for Gilda Joyce

[68papyrus · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

This series just keeps getting better. I've read all but the last Gilda Joyce mystery and I haven't been disappointed yet. In this latest installment Gilda heads to Washington, DC to intern at the Spy Museum. While there Gilda is plagued by nightmares and feels that she is being drawn into a mystery involving some KGB artifacts that were donated to the museum. Great pacing and a plot that kept me guessing until the last page. It seems like Gilda grew up a bit in this volume and she seems to be more self aware. Jennifer Allison did a wonderful job researching this book and all the bits of DC history made the story even more captivating. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series. 4 stars

Anytime you add history to something it makes the book all the better for me. In this fourth book Gilda sees something she wants and goes for it. She wants an internship with the International Spy Museum at Washington, D.C. and she gets it. Here she has the opportunity to work with a real spy to unwind yet another mystery. The International Spy Museum is a real place dedicated to all things having to do with spies and spying. This book unlike the others shows us a more mature Gilda. I guess from the very first book we have watched Gilda grow up before our eyes. I don't think you will be disappointed with this book. If you like a good mystery then you'll definitely love the quirky Gilda Joyce.
