Not my favorite Nancy Drew, but I did like the incorporation of Native American information (though whether it is accurate is a good question given how old it is). I also liked that they started to impact those around Nancy and they didn't just shrug it off.
I do have one curiousness that never really got cleared up--why was Clair (claire?) included? She seemed petty and really didn't add anything to the story. I wonder if the original version (1935) had her play a bigger part, but then it was cut down a bit in the 1970s re-release which is the version I read.
