absbia777 's review for:
The Secret of the Old Clock
by Carolyn Keene
The Secret of the Old Clock is the very first Nancy Drew book. In a time where teenage girls immediately made friends with strange old people and entered their homes without warning, Nancy meets several people who have one man in common: Josiah Crowley. How she happened upon all of these people at the same time, we don't know, but I guess it was convenient to move the story along. Crowley apparently promised to leave everyone money in his will, but everything went to the uppity Topham family and they're all confused. Apparently he's got a secret will hidden away and Nancy's got to find it. Sometimes the mysteries in this series are a little ridiculous and this is one of them. These books really don't hold up over time.
