The entire Nancy Drew series has good, well-thought out mysteries, but it's like a Norman Rockwell painting. Nancy is just too perfect, along with the rest of her life. Her father, friends, boyfriend and maid all act exactly like their supposed to. Pretty much the only fault you will find is that Bess is a little fat, which tends to get mentioned in a slightly different way every book. Chubby Beth, or slightly overwieght Beth, or enthusiastic eater Beth. After a few books you begin to see th

Nancy's at it again. This time she accidentally picks up the wrong mask at a masquerade party and falls into the mystery of a group of jewel thieves. Along the way, she helps a friend keep a job and also manages to get George Frayne kidnapped which turns George into a fearful shell of her former self (which doesn't seem in keeping with George's character, even if she was threatened). Of course, Nancy keeps her wits together and even after she and Bess are also taken, manages to use a piece of me

I thought that this Nancy Drew book was good. I liked all the suspense that it presented. Nancy would always nose around and try to get information about people. She liked to put herself in harms way. Sometimes she would turn out to be fine. It turns out that she was kidnapped; after looking around an old inn that the man who was part of the Velvet Gang, owned. Over all it was not the best book I have read but it was pretty close.

Sometimes I just have to read a Nancy Drew book and there are a still a few left that I didn't read when I was young. That Nancy is still just as spunky as ever!

Apparently this was a very exciting read for me. The cover also gets extra points for sheer creepiness.

This was one cozy book and not as predictable as some of the others, even though you could figur almost eveything out.

I remember the first time I read Nancy Drew. It blew my mind that there were girls presented with a brain. Most of the stuff I'd read up to that time, was that girls were sugar and spice - fluffy. No brains. To also learn about George who is a tomboy was a nice validation. Carolyn Keene wrote just for me! That is how I felt. When I did more research, I was shocked to find out, Ms. Keene was actually a man ... writing under Frank Dixon. I also loved the Hardy Boys. No wonder I loved thes

Another piece in the ongoing puzzle of Nancy Drew and her historical context. She's always ahead of her time, but still of her time, so I both respect her and find her historically fascinating. The books are formulaic and dated (hence the three-star rating) yet also charming, engaging, and edifying. And she's been a smart, tough girl since the 1930s, so I gotta love that. I intend to keep collecting them when I can find them for cheap.

I loved this book! I enjoy reading detective fiction. Nancy Drew books have a good plot line. They sometimes get confusing because there are so many characters. Carolyn Keene is a great author. She gives a lot of details that can make you feel like you are in the book. I am going to give this book five stars!

I've read all my Nancy Drews at least twice, first in the early 70s, then again during my last summer in college. I still can't remember what most of them are about.

What a scary Nancy Drew novel, as she and her boyfriend Ned are witnesses to a crime. The cover always freaked me out on this book.
