3.5 reminded me where my love for mysteries started!
First Nancy Drew with the girl. I think she liked it but might not quite be old enough for them.

It was lovely to reread this first Nancy Drew mystery. I read ten when I was about 13 & they’re still charming as I read them 20yrs later. Bring on book 2!
3.75 stars!
This is my first Nancy Drew read. I have been hearing about these stories for years, and today I decided to pick this up.
It was really entertaining!

I really enjoyed Nancy Drew books when I was younger, but I did not remember much about them. I wanted to see how they held up and I really liked reading this first book (at 29 years old).
One thing that stuck out to me was how much wealth and money were talked about. It seemed like Nancy Drew was rich and 90% of the other characters were poor.
Google is telling me that these books are written at an 8 to 12 year old’s reading level. I read this book in two days, it was a very quick read as an adult.
I do want to read more in the series. I will probably use them as a break in between heavier books.
