Will a mysterious psychic help her solve the case and prove Cody's innocence?
Disapointing? Guilty as charged
| Customer Rating:  | | Joan Lowery Nixon has an amazing talent when it comes to mixing together the perfect amount of suspense, wonder, mystery, fear, and real life problems to form a most delectable novel. Unfortunatley, this particular book was less than satisfying. It followed a very typical formula as far as character development and plot revelations go. The main character, Holly, is headstrong to the point of being just plain annoying. she has all the compassion in the world, but only for problems she feels are important enought to even try to understand. when her friend, cody, is being blamed for the murder of his own parents, she focuses entirely on biting the heads off of people who even explore the slightest possibility that he might be guilty. She has that attitude of "Im always right so unless you agree with me just shut up." her father lacks any comapassion whatsoever and the way he treats his family is just plain rude. all in all, the actual mystery was clever and rather brilliant, and the psychic really helped spice up the book. the characters are hard to sympathize with because of their lack of understanding, but the book was still a good read. :-) |

All the evidences add up and she comes to term that, Cody has killed his parents. Cody's parents were rich, so she thought that he would kill them for the money, so that was her motive. After this she becomes distant with Cody, even though he needs all the help and support he can get.

What I liked most about this book: I loved the mystery of this book, it was so intense that you got caught up in it and felt like you were inside the story.
Why I didn't like it and why: There wasn't anything abotu this book.It had an amazing problem with a great and logical solution.
My favorite character and why: My favorite character was Holly because she believed her friend was inncoecent and never lost faith in him.
The scence, line,or passage that meant something to me and why: Pg number 43:" I know what your thinknig but you've got to beliveve me, I didn't kill my parents". That passage meant something to me bacause those were the words of a boy who was in his own way crying for help but no one believed him.
What I would say about this book to someone else: I would suggest this book to anyone who asks because the mystery is great and the suspense is real.
One question I have after reading this book : What does Cody do in the end?
My strongest reason for recommending this book: It is an amazing book that keeps your attention until the end. It's pretty much one of those" I can't put this down until I finish it kind of books.

Holly to the Rescue
| Customer Rating: | The parents of Holly's friend, Cody, are brutally murdered and Cody is the main suspect.
Holly is determined to prove that Cody is innocent, but the authorites (1 of them being her father, a police detective) will not listen to her.
I took away 1 star because I am annoyed by novels involving attempted contact with the deceased, but it was certainly another page-turner from an awesome author. |
