I loved the Nancy Drew books growing up. The idea of a young girl being able to solve mysteries was so exciting. I was always interested in mystery stories, and the idea of being a detective or spy growing up.

I remember reading nothing but these nancy drew books when I was young. It's nice to revisit and realize I probably had no idea what was going on most of the time. Still. Nancy Drew is a classic and I hope my children read these stories.

Feeling nostalgic- favorite series from my youth. I remember the public librarian from my local library would borrow Nancy Drew books from other libraries and call me on the telephone when they arrived for me. Do you think this librarian made an impression on me? :>)

This book was very well stored to the audiobook format.

A simple, curious adventure that was nothing but enjoyable.

My only reason criticism is that the ending was a bit abrupt.

This was a quick and fun mystery read with loveable characters and I plan to continue the series :)

spatterson12's review against another edition

This story starts with Nancy out for a drive in her fancy car and seeing a young girl almost get hit in the road. The girl tumbles, Nancy checks on her, and then returns the girl to her home where she’s cared for by two aunts. The aunts share with Nancy their financial strains and how they expected to receive a substantial amount from the will of a man who recently died, but didn’t. Because it’s normal to share your burdens with a random teenager.
