Look, it’s not a perfect book. But, in a way, isn’t it? I think it kind of is.

This was a lot of fun, very dated, and less of a mystery but more of a cozy read. Kind of like stepping into a strange time machine.
Josiah Crowley promised his estate to loving friends and family upon his death, but no one knows where he placed his will. Nancy Drew is on the case in The Secret of the Old Clock.
A story with an interesting history, it’s clear that many conventions in mysteries for young readers originated here.

It was great to read some Nancy Drew. I loved these books so much and it felt great to reread the first.
