After winning an award for her larkspur (don't enter a contest against Nancy Drew- she always wins), Nancy ends up with a stray homing pigeon and a mysterious clue. As she is starting work on that mystery, she is asked to solve another mystery involving a strange light and a servant who suddenly

isn't serving as he used to. Of course both these mysteries are connected, and Nancy uncovers a common group perpetuating both and holding old ladies hostage for money.

I absolutely loved Nancy Drew growing up. This was a series I latched on to for dear life and never let go. Anytime my mom and I would go to antique stores, we'd peruse the Nancy Drews and add them to the collection (oftentimes my mom had to make deals with me on how many I could buy). So, while I

don't remember the exact details of each and every one, the entire series was amazing and really fed my love for reading (especially novels full of suspense and mystery). Thank you, Carolyn Keene, for giving us an intelligent female character to fall in love with in Nancy Drew!

A delightful and thrilling set of connected mysteries which Nancy must solve simultaneously to protect vulnerable elderly people. She also keeps her head in dangerous situations.

I really did not like this one. As an adult and parent, I strongly disagree with the choices the author had Nancy make in this story, and am dismayed that she wrote the character of Nancy's father to allow her to do those things. I know it is "just" fiction. I would have enjoyed it much better,

though, if the author had written it so that Nancy's creative way of looking at things was the focus, without putting the character into some extremely dangerous scenarios.
