My favorite book in the series! Of course, I'm a sucker for secret passages and missing jewels- both of which this book contains :)

A childhood favorite re-visited.
Is the story as good as I remember? – Yes
What ages would I recommend it too? – Ten and up.
Length? – Most of a day’s read.
Characters? – Memorable, several characters.
Setting? – Real world, pre - computer pre - air conditioning, pre - cell phone.
Written
Does the story leave questions in the readers mind? – Ready to read more.
Any issues the author (or a more recent publisher) should cover? Yes. A slight mention of the time frame of the story - as the teens are given far more freedom to come and go as they please than would be safe today. Also, the absence of computers, cell phones, and air conditioning in homes, especially the mansion.
Short storyline: Trixie Belden finds a link the Civil War past of her own home. She, Honey, and her brothers work to find the living descendants of the people mentioned in the letter, and return a set of rare family jewels to their rightful owners.
Notes for the reader: A great mystery! No violence (only referred to from the past), no murder.
