Started reading this to have a palate cleanser after a heavy Lit book and I'm enjoying it more than I thought I would. This is essentially what the pre-Beatles MAYFIELD of Leave It To Beaver would be like if Veronica Mars had happened 40 years earlier.
THAT BEING SAID - I'm qiuite enjoying the over-kind Nancy Drew and her projected Daddy-Issue dad "Lawyer, Carson Drew" a lot more than I thought I might.

There's a certain gormless charm to this rather textbook styled mystery that's more relaxing than anything else I've read in quite a while. Pleadingly innocent, but still with enough adventur and with stock supporting characters that one loves to love and hate. I believe the crotchety caretaker actually says "By Jimeny!" at one point. Quite fun.
