The seventh book in the Nancy Drew series has Nancy and her friends coming across a house on fire and a man running from the scene. It doesn’t take long for Nancy to find a connection to this mysterious man and his family who have been searching for him, thinking he was dead.
Nancy and her cousins are searching and trying to solve multiple mysteries once again that all link together, they just have to figure out how. A mysterious diary left behind in a language they don’t understand helps direct them through the right channels to find the missing husband and solve the mystery of the fire.

It's a cold wet rainy Valentine's Day, so a very nice day to sit beside the fire with a cup of tea and read Nancy Drew--especially as this book in the introduction to one of the best book boyfriends ever, Ned Nickerson!
Nancy: "Maybe you shouldn't beg too hard, Ned. You may find yourself being called upon to do all kinds of outlandish sleuthing jobs."
Ned: "I'm at your service!"
I couldn't help but laugh at that. Boy is a fool in love and has no idea what he has gotten himself into, but he'll gladly do anything and everything Nancy asks. Seriously, they have the sweetest relationship.
The mystery itself was also really good and has one of the most satisfying endings once the case is closed!

It was nice to see this is where Ned Nickerson came into play. I always like the ones where is involved better.

This book was odd, mostly just old fashioned. But it focused on things I don't care about and left out details I normally love.

Reading through the Nancy Drew’s I have on hand for nostalgic reasons. Decent story. Meddling kids! Ned seems to be met in this book for the first time and yet he was mentioned in a previous book (by first name only)
