![]() ![]() Her girly sister is preferred but she has to accompany the impatient uncle. Uncle Ralph answers that he likes Christina but finds her in pickles too often for a lady. ![]() ![]() We have all felt someone disliked us but seldom call that person out. I give four stars for a pleasant story with original touches that impressed me. Christina bonding with her Uncle Ralph was much more enthralling. Anticlimactically, we hear he was not familiar enough with the old case to have a zealous reaction. Ralph and Christina rustle up what they were seeking and we don't see him give it to the sheriff. The mystery's resolution, if not for a spectral showdown that was harrying if not brief, was glossed over haphazardly. However these characters were shaped with such refreshing frankness an originality pervaded that had me enjoying the novel, including the personal relations it conquered. She spots a spirit right away but the mystery is trivial. “ Christina's Ghost” is driven by a family topic. This is why some of Betty's are superior to others. When authors skip kid stuff, like bickering or school and stick to adventures the novels are phenomenal. Sometimes she added ghosts but always evoked suspense. Betty Ren Wright is another prolific authoress. ![]()
