I enjoyed this book. It kept my attention but it wasn’t that interesting. I don’t know if this was just me or if other people thought it too, but from the first few chapters I had already guessed both mystery’s were related. I also feel like they ended very abrupt. What I mean by this is the ending details ended in what seemed like a few pages. I did notice that on that on the last page of book it said what the third book is called. I wonder if it did the same thing in the 1st book? What’s a Bungalow?

I wish Goodreads would separate the Original Text Nancy Drews with the Revised Text versions, because I'm reading both books and they are distinctly different. I had never read the OT of this one, and was surprised to find Nancy packing heat! She's also described as having blonde CURLY hair, which I never really got from the pictures of the original books. This wasn't my favorite for the obvious reasons that it was dated and had racial stereotypes, but the story overall was very good.

The second book of the Nancy Drew series has Nancy searching for the answers behind a ghost who appears to be coming between the home she is visiting and the neighboring house. Not only is she trying to solve a mystery for her friends, but it appears her father is being threatened.
Nancy is torn between who to help when her father suddenly disappears on his way to visit her. In true Nancy fashion, things quickly come to light and she finds herself solving all the mysteries in one fell swoop
I really enjoyed this second introduction to Nancy Drew. The books are quick and easy to read and I am enjoying the slow progress through them.

i’m about to start binging these so hard purely for the nostalgia lmao. i liked the first book more than the second book and the mystery in this one wasn’t as entertaining. i’m glad mr. drew was okay in the end

It was marginally better than the first one the secret of the old clock but still quite boring as the mystery was easily solved within the first 2 chapters and it dragged on. It was marginally better because their was a little more action and some interesting spots that lasted a few sentences.

I probably gave this a five star rating when I read it first in fourth grade. I stil llove Nancy. I just wish the titles didn't give so much away and having reread the first two now, I am surprised that George, Bess and Ned Nickerson are not even in them! I remember them so well. I must have read dozens back in the day, now I get to go back with my daughter.
