The Haunted Showboat by Carolyn Keene
3.0
This was not my favorite mystery, and really there wasn't a lot to the mystery, most of the book were inconsequential details that never really tied into what was happening on the showboat.
I also was reading a 1957 edition of this book, which really didn't age well. I've read previously that Nancy Drew had to be revised for the times as new editions came out, and reading about the casual reference to "colored people," and "Negroes" was jarring and seriously detracted from any enjoyment to be had from this book.
Meh, this isn't Nancy's best, I advise to skip it unless you're a committed fan. It's not terrible, but it's not a sterling example of this series.
