15. The Lone Footprint 1941 I started to read this book and stopped after the first page or two and looked at the cover again and then read the Chapter names in the front of the book.
Why?
Because it hauntingly seemed familiar. Didn't Kay in the Message in the Sand Dunes go on holiday with her Mother and best friend, twin sisters Wilma and Betty where a mystery was driving other holiday people away?
Once I double - checked it was NOT the same book I continued on.
The story early on mentions Kay's father having also having enjoyed solving mysteries when he was alive.
I really enjoy Kay Tracey books for their flow in style. For some reason the forced poetry in this book bothered me more than in other books of the series.
Also there seems to be a trend with arch rival Ethel. Every time there is a male described as young and good looking you can be sure within the next few chapters Ethel will have a reason to be around the said male whether he showed interest back or not. This book is no different. I think that is one of the good things about series as you see the repetition in the main characters behaviour as you would a friend.
Only disappointment I would have in this book (and common amongst a few) is the last chapter from sentence to sentence jumps forward in time dramatically to wrap up the story to create the happy ending.
