The Clue in the Diary by Carolyn Keene

5.0

I'm rereading the series, and I think this one is probably one of my favorites in the original series! I loved that I got to find out, that this is the first appearance of Ned Nickerson (Nancy's boyfriend). The Mystery kept me intrigued from start to finish, a mysterious fire, a man who is found running away from the scene and a dropped diary will all lead Nancy Drew on an incredible mystery ride.
