"It was great! As a Nancy Drew fan, i cannot get over the shivers or the smile as the book went on and on! As you can see, I only did four stars cause the end was a little... too simple. But other than that, loved it. There were many characters jumping in your head as if they were realistic." — Bridget (4 out of 5 stars)

" I agree with Shannon. I love these books because they meant so much to me when I was twelve. I can't bear them now, but I'm nothing if not loyal. "
" I'm not sure if I ever finished this book...However, from what I remember, it was slightly boring during some chapters. "
" Read as a child in the early 1950's. Loved it and every Nancy Drew book I ever read... "
" WOW this one was amazing!! I don't know why, but i found that there was so many parts to it which made the mystery alot more impressive!!Another great addition to the Nancy Drew series! "
" I especially liked this one the best "
" I love that Nancy Drew and what can i say ... I think that is where my love of reading began or almost. Her mysteries and mishaps got me wondering and reading and wanting to learn more about the characters and their relationships. Great series still. "
" book 10, 1966 rewrite of 1933 original "
" Nancy and the H boys! "
" This book was a very easy read. It was interesting and fun, but didn't improve my language any. It was a nice, laid back, relaxing book. In a few more years, Nancy Drew might be too childish for me, but for now, its great. "
" This was a very good book in the Nancy Drew series. It was a little sad seeing how they treated the elderly. "
" I read every single one of these growing up--I thought she was the bees knees "
" AS I said before this book was good. I would love to read the rest of the series. Go Nancy Drew! "
" My first Nancy! I wonder if they're making her over, too, like they're doing with the Sweet Valley twins... "
" This is a really cool book. When I got it from the library, I couldn't put it down! I read it a while ago, but I re-read it just a few weeks ago. "
" Fairly decent detective story, totally unbelievable for a teen-ager to be treated or to act this way, but still it makes for a fun, light read. It's also nostalgic for me, as I grew up with Trixie Beldon, Nancy Drew and Donna Parker. "
" this is a very good book it has a lot of history included in it as well. "
" I adore all Nancy Drew books. "
" Among all of my Nancy Drew collections, this novel is different among them all. It's enchanting and filled with much mystery than the others. "
" That woman was kinda wierd liek that place was. "
" I read all the Nancy Drew books (and the Hardy Boys) when I was a child, but I will admit that I have read them all again as an adult (a few years ago). The stories are old fashioned, but that's why I like them so much. "
" Nancy Drew books are fun. :3 "
" Beginning to like Nancy Drew more now. "
" so full of mystery and very fun and thrilling to read...... "
" The case of the missing grandma. Do they find her? You will have to read it to find out! "
" This is Megan's favorite Nancy drew book, so she had me read it. It was pretty good (Not quite as good as the Hardy Boys, but almost....) "
" There is something I just love about the older Nancy Drew books. I always enjoy them more than the newer ones. "
" Harder to crack than most.. Took me a while "
" Zanier than most! Here's my favorite line: "I'll wire the International Federation of American Homing Pigeon Fanciers and give them the number stamped on the bird's leg ring." Who knew?!! "
" Keene gives light to people who would steal, lie and cheat to other people for money in this book. This book does not only give us the (expected in every book of keene's) sensation of mystery but also reminded us to be content. "
" So I loved her dress on the cover of this book, but the old lady freaked me out. "
" I didn't like it because I found out who done it halfway through the book. It was hardly a mystery. I recommend this book for 6yrs or younger. "
" I've read this one before, but I couldn't resist the audiobook version. However, on reading Miss Drew again, I have to wonder about a dad who wouldn't mind his daughter crossing paths with a convicted felon, confronting a purse snatcher and actively seeking out new opportunities for sleuthing. "
" I never read Nancy Drew books when I was little- so now I like to read them once in awhile. I enjoy the characters and stories. "
" My favorite Nancy Drew book of all time - "
" Oh, Nancy. Even while chasing criminals down, she still makes sure to abide by the traffic laws. And the International Federation of American Homing Pigeon Fanciers?? How does she KNOW these things? "
" I enjoyed this book, it was very mysterious! Hope you read this book soon! "
