3 stars. This was one of the better books in the series. Super fun and I didn’t even mind Ned in this one which was shocking because I think he’s the biggest douche nozzle. I’m not excited about them getting back together but whatever. This one was pretty decent and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I read Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys throughout my school and college days.
Nancy Drew is an amateur detective who solves crimes with occasional help from her best friends, Bess and George and, her boyfriend Ned. She also has occasional help from her father Carson Drew who runs a private law practice. From finding stolen goods to missing persons and solving mysterious happenings, Nancy is a force of nature.
Until I discovered that Carolyn Keene is a pen name for a whole bunch of ghostwriters, I used to feel confused about the slight differences in each character from books to book over the many series of Nancy Drew mysteries. I like the character of Nancy best in the original books written by Mildred Wirt Benson where Nancy is truly a character to root for – an independent and street smart girl with a penchant for trouble.

Minor: Murder

This book was way better than the last. For one thing, I didn't figure out who did it before page 40. And this one has more action. Not to mention there wasn't an annoying ballerina and a bunch of awkward moments with Ned and Nancy. This one was great! A 30-year-old mystery would be hard for most to solve, but not for our beloved Nancy Drew. Great read, one of the better in the series. Five stars
