As confusing as this mystery was, I really liked it. Having to really concentrate and think about the mystery and the clues instead of it all being so obvious (like many of the more recent ND books) was very refreshing. And I like these older editions because of the differences
As for the storyline itself, not the best ND I've ever read, but fairly good. It was more confusing then usual, there were a lot of times where I just couldn't understand what the significance of something was, and sometimes that frustrated me.

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! Show Less
