An injured homing pigeon leads Nancy to this mystery. A missing aunt, a strange blue light and a home for the elderly con, all come together. This was another fun romp.
Password to Larkspur Lane (Nancy Drew Mystery Stories, No 10) by Carolyn G. Keene (1960)
I really loved Nancy Drew books as a kid - often read three at a time in second and third grade. However, in rereading them with my daughter, there are things that bother me as I read this one.
First, the clues are so fast-coming that my 4th grade daughter missed a few as clues because she was still processing the one on the previous page. However, she likes how fast paced it is.
Second, Nancy is a bit spoiled. She has a perfectly good convertible, but her dad gets her a new one.
Finally, this particular mystery is a little rough for young readers. What Dr. Belle is doing is horrible, and my daughter and I had to have a tough talk about how people take advantage of the elderly.
Despite all that, the way the two mysteries came together was great, and I loved reliving Nancy's determination and drive.

Getting annoyed with the extreme coincidences/intersections of mysteries in Nancy's life. Otherwise I loved the old folks' home scenes.
