Gilda is an outsider but she doesn't let other people's opinions keep her from doing what she wants to do. She is driven and brave and resourceful. She is also misguided and naive and gullible. It is her good and bad qualities together that make her a good "Psychic Investigator". This book was an amusing and fast read; I am looking forward to the next in the series.

Huge fan of Gilda Joyce. I've read all of her books beginning here. Loved Gilda's character and her typewriter. Great story.

Gilda Joyce Psychic Investigator is a good book. I liked it but didn't love it. A good story that is well told/written.

I really wanted to like this book. The premise is intriguing and had a lot of potential and the characters are definitely quirky. However, I can't get past the writing. After the third straight chapter of passive voice, info dump & being told the story, rather than shown it, I was too annoyed to continue reading. The story suffers from the craft and I find it far too clunky. In the end the story wasn't enough to make up for the writing. One other point - I think too many of the characters are too eccentric. They don't feel as if they have a grounding in reality and that makes for a characture rather than a real person.
