Book 17, 2014
I had the day off of work, and I used the down time to finish reading another Trixie Belden book. It was The Mystery of the Blinking Eye, by Kathryn Kenny, and it's the 12th book in the series.
This one was much more exciting than the last one I read. In the story, Trixie and her fellow Bob-Whites are in New York City to meet up with some friends from Iowa. At the airport, Trixie helps an elderly woman get to the proper gate to catch a plane, and the woman gives Trixie a small, straw purse that contains a note. The woman is a fortune teller, and the note warns Trixie of danger.
Later, Trixie discovers an odd little idol in an antique shop and buys it. Afterward, strange things begin happening, including several attempts by thieves to steal the idol from Trixie. She is astonished to realize that the events are unfolding in accordance to the fortune given her by the woman.
The story was fast-paced and exciting, and it was even dangerous at various points. Very good!
Four stars:
★★★★
