I would like to thank myself for reading and loving this series as a child (and also my mother for purchasing all those oval paperbacks), because otherwise I would not be enjoying this trip down memory lane, forty-odd years after first picking up [b:Trixie Belden and the Mystery of the Queen's Necklace|183167|Trixie Belden and the Mystery of the Queen's Necklace (Trixie Belden, #23)|Kathryn Kenny|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1220028304l/183167._SY75_.jpg|177014].
This one wasn't exactly a trip down memory lane though - there are four or five in the series that I'd never owned and apparently never bothered to get from the library as a child. This was one of those but it still felt as familiar as the house I grew up in.
Also, if we were to track Trixie's age based on the season in which each book takes place, I think she'd be roughly 75 by the end of the series :-)

It's suddenly 1977 in Sleepyside! Trixie uncovers a marijuana grower who's hidden his crime inside an old lady's cornfield. But don't worry; the characters assure us that weed's about to become legal in New York State.

One of the good ones, so must have been one of the writers that knew the series well. Always appreciate it when they keep it pure Trixie. Good story, glad that it stayed close to home with everyone around.

The 19th book in the Trixie Belden series and yet another great mystery. This had a pretty interesting story to it, it felt with a bit of risqué subject matter for the time, so that was a surprise. This was another in the series which I don’t believe I had read before, so another fresh TB mystery for me to enjoy.

The 'twist' in this one really delights me. Chekhov's Floral Arrangement! :D
