Not exactly a 1:1 ratio of bungalow to mystery, but the goofy character names make up for that fact.

This book was a super easy read, it would be a 5 star but I’m not sure if i can get used to the writing style. It’s an older book obviously, so it’s written different from book now a days.
I loved reading this and I’m not usually someone who reads mysteries, I like romance. But I couldn’t put this book down. I loved putting 2 and 2 together and figuring out the case before the book ended!
Highly recommend if you just need a fast paced book, while you’re waiting for your next book to come or in my case for your library in town to open!

This mystery was super predictable and I had the whole thing figured out right away, which was really disappointing. I also did not like Laura, so I wasn’t as invested in Nancy Drew solving this one. With so many books in this series there’s going to be a couple of duds and I look forward to seeing improvement in future books.

Nancy does it again! I love my feminist literature I find myself just smiling and truly enjoying these novels! But I will say how many unsafe weather conditions can this poor girl get caught in the middle of hahaha

Goodreads really needs to separate the Original Text with the Revised Text, because they are two different stories. Same basic plot, but vastly different writing. The OT features a spunkier Nancy who takes more chances and at times, carries her dad's revolver. The RT features a Nancy who is not afraid to take chances, but cautiously so. Also, in the revised text, the story does not flow naturally. At the beginning, we are given Nancy's backstory inserted as paragraphs and they seem out of place. The RT also has a secondary story that of course, ties in with Nancy's mystery and makes it really contrived. The original text is better, if you can get past the stereotypes (in this book, it's not blacks who are disparaged like the first two books, but rather an overweight man, who, according to the author, was not jolly like most fat man tend to be).
