I read this book as a quick book I could read on the beach. I predicted who the perpetrator was as soon as the main event happened but the way it was all tied up with the little bit of darkness at the end was perfect. I will say that my favourite part of the book was Drew’s and Ned’s romance, she was jealous because she wanted more attention and he would give that attention to her in extremes when she brushed with death. Very good!

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.

I really enjoyed this read. It was fast-paced, felt like you were right in the action, and it was one of those reveals that kept you guessing.

The sixth, and probably most twisted Nancy Drew files book yet. I loved the ending(not the death part, but who did it) and I love Nancy. She can be so smart at times but she can also do things without consideration first. Great book! 5 stars

As ND case files go, this one was pretty great. Some very dumb moves by the characters, relationship drama, and survival in the woods. Plus murder.

3 stars. Had some fun big action moments but wasn't my favorite overall. It was entirely too easy to guess the culprit and besides those action moments, it wasn't all that interesting.
