The Secret of Shadow Ranch by Carolyn Keene

4.0

Finally we're out of River Heights! This mystery was a nice change of pace from the others, that centered around Nancy's home life, and her famous, tall and handsome lawyer father Carson Drew. Nancy, or course is an excellent horsewoman, and the local cowboy is smitten with her, so of course Western fun/mystery ensues. This story was more complex than most, though the story itself doesn't feel to be in the right order, as characters that have never been introduced in previous books are referenced. Still a fun, light read, this would be a good one to read if you're looking for a better sample of the Nancy Drew series.
