Наконец добралась до знакомства с известной серией книг о девочке-сыщице Нэнси Дрю. И, надо сказать, что с этим знакомством я опоздала лет так на двадцать, а то и больше. Ничего плохого не хочу сказать про эту книгу, просто я уже вышла из возрастной категории, на которую этот детектив рассчитан. К сожалению это не одна из тех книг, что приятно читать и взрослым и детям. Вряд ли сюжет покажется увлекательным и непредсказуемым кому-то старше 10-12 лет.

Nancy defeats high flying smugglers in this thriller.
this is the first I'd read of nancy's more recent escapades. I love the updated version, cell phones and computers but i miss the romance of the 80's.
An old friend of Ned's family comes to visit after neds father begins getting weird calls about a delivery. A Neighborhood staple maybe losing her house because of a housing development and there's angry people at the airport.
i loved all the twists in this one but i felt that this was perhaps for a younger crowd. Nancy was smart but she didn't seem as witty as her earlier works. i love when a mystery has layers and this one definitely didn't disappoint.
I highly recommend.

In this Nancy Drew mystery, Nancy is trying to help a neighbor in River Heights who may lose her home and property to a large corporation. Nancy follows the clues with her friends, Bess & George, to find a way to save Evaline Waters' home. In this spin off of the classic Drew series, we learn more about Neds' family background and one of his father's friends, Colonel Lang is pivotal to helping Nancy solve the mystery. I loved that Nancy learned to fly a small Cessna in this book and she really does well with it (but Nancy does do everything top notch). This is definitely an entertaining mystery, not a lot of red herrings, that I'd recommend to fellow Nancy Drew fans.
