Spirit and Dust brings us back into the paranormal realm of the Goodnight family. This time we are introduced to Daisy Goodnight, college student by day and missing persons consultant for the FBI- whenever they pull her out of class. Like all members of the Goodnight family, Daisy too has a special talent- for speaking to and locating the dead.
Whisked away from chemistry class to assist in locating a missing mob-boss daughter, who may or may not be deceased, Daisy soon becomes missing herself. Bound by a witch on retainer by the mob-boss, Daisy must evade the FBI, uncover the sinister plans of the Black Jackal, and locate the missing daughter... or else.
Unlike the funny and charming Amy Goodnight in Texas Gothic, Daisy Goodnight is a bit annoying. Kudos to all of the cool Egyptology and museum action, but ultimately, not as entertaining of a read as Texas Gothic. Think more along the lines of Night At The Museum, but evil... kind of.
