Without a Trace by Carolyn Keene

Is it the great American novel? No. A gripping and terrifying mystery? Also no. But it’s a cute short book about the girl detective and I think it’s self aware of its content

I wanted to reminisce but decided to start this series as I read most of the mysteries and case files during my childhood.
The zucchini mystery was rather obvious but the egg theft took me some time to figure out.
I would recommend mystery fans to try the other series as this felt too juvenile even for YA

Once again I was feeling nostalgic and my great grandma got me this but for my birthday. I really enjoyed it and loved the details but I do have to say I figured out the problem before Nancy did haha. But over all I love the nancy drew books.

2.75

Someone has stolen a valuable Faberge egg AND someone else (or the same person?) has smashed all of the neighbors' zucchinis! Nancy, the whitest, most privileged white girl you know is on the case!

Read due to my childhood love of Nancy Drew and mysteries, left with a feeling of bleh. 2.75 for the signature "cliff-hangers" that end each chapter as well as nostalgia and every-day mysteries.
