I remember this being one of my favorite Nancy Drew books. It’s not as good as I remember (I read the OG 30s edition which was better written) but it was still fun and wild to see all the family drama.

This was less of a mystery of who did what and more just a fun time following Nancy as she figures out how to track down a missing will, which ultimately solves all the issues surrounding the promises of an old man to his friends and family.
There was nothing groundbreaking about this mystery but it was still a fun read.

Le livre qui m'a donné envie de devenir détective (non je ne suis pas détective actuellement mais à l'époque, je le voulais vraiment. Par la suite, Sherlock Holmes m'a démotivée).
