I think this may be my favorite mystery so far, it's definitely a bit more complex and interesting than the previous ones in the series. In this story, we learn that Nancy is the best "girl detective" ever, and that she's a gifted parallel-parker. Her romance with Ned develops, and she gets away from home for a little while. I'd definitely recommend this to fans of the series!

I found myself beside a bonfire with about 3 hours left until midnight on NYE so I picked this up as it was the next Nancy Drew on my shelf. I read this one about 20 years ago and I have to say that I remembered absolutely nothing about it. It was not really the most intriguing premise and I wouldn't recommend going out of your way to find this one. As always, reading the references to things that existed in the '60s and are basically eradicated made me laugh.
