Two Nancy Drew stories in one volume! In "The Fake Heir" Nancy, Bess, and George, find the wreck of an old yacht with a safe inside full of jewelry worth a small fortune. Cousins of the Druthers owned the yacht and their will leaves everything to Mr. Druthers, but no one’s seen him for ten years. The rumor is Mrs. Druthers murdered him! Things take a surprising turn when suddenly Mr. Druthers reappears! Then, in "Mr Cheeters is Missing" when the eccentric Blanche Porter reports that her beloved Mr. Cheeters has vanished, it isn’t your standard missing persons case. As Nancy Drew soon discovers, Mr. Cheeters, is a pet chimp. Or is he?

I wish Nancy would either arm herself or take some self-defense classes, if she's going to insist on investigating suspects without backup. At least she's not breaking a high heel and tripping so the bad guys can catch up.
Once again Nancy Drew solves another mystery. I don't know how she survives all the mishaps she gets into....she's very good at mystery solving but, sometimes she is clueless
