miss_alaina's review against another edition
4.0
This was an enjoyable addition to the Nancy Drew series. I especially enjoyed the community-centered plot line, which is something we don't see a lot of with the Nancy Drew books.
myra_'s review against another edition
3.0
Yet another Nancy Drew. I've been reading a lot of these lately.
I don't know if it's related to some need to go back to a more innocent age, which is when I read these books. Or if it's about me consciously making an effort to learn descriptive techniques from it. It's simplistic yes, but so far in my writing I've been doing dialogue well, but my descriptions suffer.
A good story, but more plot twists than most Nancy Drew stories. There was slight foreshadowing, yes, but less obvious clues than is usual for the series.
A welcome change, and just goes to show that even for a tried and tested structure, approach can be changed to an extent.
My reviews of Nancy Drew books are often tied into my writing, whereas all other books, my reviews are about the book itself. That in itself is slightly weird but I actually like that somehow it keeps me more accountable in that way.
