Product Description
When Gilda lands a summer internship at Washington, D.C.s International Spy Museum, she finds herself embroiled in both a museum haunting and a real case of espionage. While investigating a cemetery where Abraham Lincolns son was once buried, Gilda stumbles upon a spys dead drop of classified information. Gildas efforts to decode the cryptic message lead to further intrigues: Is she on the trail of a mole operating inside the U.S. intelligence community? Aware that nothing is what it seems when it comes to spies in Washington, D.C., Gilda faces the most serious challenge yet in her career as a psychic spy.

Another great Gilda Joyce book set at The International Spy Museum!!
In Jennifer Allison's 4th book you can tell Gilda's older with more responsibilities and her skills are sharper. In the Dead Drop, Gilda is a bit more serious than she has been in the last three books. There's less stuff going on with Gilda personally too. Probably having to do with the fact that she's away from home with no friends her age in Washington DC doing an internship at the spy musuem. There were still some interesting developments having to do with family and friends though...Wendy and Gilda's brother (hint hint). Although not as many as in the last three books, there were occasions were i had to burst out laughing (and got weird looks from the other people in the book store).See,this mystery is more focused on what's happening in the plot, not so much what gilda's thinking and feeling. Don't get me wrong though it's a great book and i practically devoured it!
Gilda gets to be very independent in this book.
Having a job, living in the city with an older roommate, being a Spy Camp counseler (i learned a lot about spying myself)...I would definatly recommend this book and hope Jennifer Allison comes out with her next book VERY soon!
Ps. Isn't the cover art awesome?

Gilda Joyce: The Dead Drop July 10, 2009
Jennelaine (South Florida)
I stumbled on this series by accident a few weeks ago, and I love it! It reminds me of the Georgia Nicholson books (Rennison), with a bit of mystery added in. The title character, Gilda Joyce, is funny, sarcastic, and smart and she calls herself a psychic investigator (she channels spirits through her typewriter and wears ridiculous wigs and costumes in order to solve cases!). Plus in this book in the series, Gilda gets to meet her idol, work in a spy museum, and solve a case of national importance. Can't wait to finish the series.
 Gilda has lost her wacky personality but the book was still likable June 24, 2009

I LOVED Gilda in the first 3 books and this book was enjoyable, but Gilda has lost her wacky personality. I hope Jennifer Allison puts that personality back in the 5th Gilda book. I LOVED Gilda in the first 3 books, but her personality was just sort of bland in this book.
