DESCRIPTION:
Pollifax mysteries for which Dorothy Gilman is famous, The Tightrope Walker features a spirited and unpretentious heroine and an intriguing mystery, enhanced by colorful settings and characters. The scrawled note drives Amelia to find out what happened to the person who wrote it, identified only as "Hannah." Who was Hannah? Was she really murdered? Amelia's investigation leads her to dizzying new heights of romance and danger. Between newfound intimacies and a risky journey into the past, Amelia comes to see herself in a whole new light. Ruth Ann Phimister's skillful narration adds a personal dimension, making you care about Amelia and the fascinating and dangerous people she meets.. Like the Mrs. Like a tightrope walker, she must not look down-especially when she finds herself in situations uncannily similar to those Hannah faced just before her murder. From that moment on, the shy young woman finds herself doing all kinds of things she never thought possible. "They're going to kill me soon," begins the note Amelia discovers in an antique hurdy-gurdy
Solving a cold case Mary M. June While a little dated in some ways, it was an enjoyable read, like most Dorothy Gilman books. In this one an awkward young woman is coming into her own. She is learning how to deal with life, make friends, start a relationship, and that she is a strong woman, as she and her new friend/boyfriend work to solve a mystery. Like most of her books, humor is used along the way in the solving of a long ago mystery.. A MUST read book! P. Jehling Excellent storytelling by Dorothy Gilman.
