Books like Trixie Belden and the Mystery of Whispering Witch

Trixie’s friend Fay Franklin arrives in the middle of the night with a request for help. She and her mother live in the old haunted Lisgard Mansion, and her mother has broken her hip. When Trixie and Honey agree to spend the night with Fay, they discover just how haunted the mansion is. But that’s nothing compared to Fay’s confession the next day. What is going on?What is going on is a book that is too dark for the tone of the series. While I normally enjoy a book haunted house story, this one just doesn’t work for me. Many fans don’t enjoy this one, although some count it as a favorite for that very reason. The mystery itself is decent and the characters are enjoyable, but this continues to be one I hardly ever reread.Read my full review at Carstairs Considers.
