Trixie Belden - The Mystery of the Uninvited Guest

17. The Mystery of the Uninvited Guest (1977)
Author: Gladys Baker Bond a.k.a Kathryn Kenny

This book didn't seem as "70's" as its predecessor. It was great to have a cousin of Trixie's that was presented as being so similar. For myself I didn't find Hallie any more "Trixie like" than any other of the Belden relatives. The story however was a good one and was well paced.
Trixie is back to her non perfect self and the wedding is a continuation of the story from ""The Mystery of the Missing Heiress." The differences in writing style from this book and the one before it make it clear to the read that Kathryn Kenny is a pseudonym for a variety of authors where the first two in the series, both written by original author Julie Campbell Tatham flow better together, that said, an enjoyable read. Ratings ***1/2
