Nancy Drew 11: The Clue of the Broken Locket
Nancy Drew 11: The Clue of the Broken Locket | Carolyn Keene
14 posts | 34 read | 1 reading | 1 to read
When Nancy Drew and her friends arrive at Misty Lake, they meet pretty, red-haired Cecily Curtis, who seeks Nancys help in solving two mysteries. One concerns Cecilys fianc, Niko Van Dyke, a popular singer who believes that his record company is cheating him of royalty payments. The other invovles a family treasure hidden before the start of the Civil War; Cecilys only clue is half of a gold locket. Nancys investigations lead her to Pudding Stone Lodge, where the sinister Driscoll family lives. Strange coincidences give Nancy plenty of opportunity to test her sleuthing skills. Braving a series of dangerous situations and discouraging developments, the alert young detective perseveres in her attempts to solve both mysteries and reveal the astounding secrets of Pudding Stone Lodge.

Whenever I do a collage puzzle, I get a kick out of seeing which book cover or poster or whatever comes together first. THE CLUE OF THE BROKEN LOCKET won!

My first Nancy Drew! This was fun. Not a sophisticated mystery, it was full of unlikely coincidences, but I enjoyed it anyway. I can see why Nancy Drew is an engaging heroine, with her cheerful independence, her spiffy roadster, and her indulgent father. This was a fun escape, and I‘ll probably pick up more of these as fun comfort reads!

A confession and a question: I‘ve never read any Nancy Drew books. I have these two lovely old editions and was thinking about picking them up this month, but I‘m not sure where to start. Does it matter what order you read them in? Are they episodic enough that you can jump in and out anywhere, or should I start at the beginning? (Because if I need to start at the beginning, I need to source several others before starting these!)

wideeyedreader From what I remember, it doesn‘t matter much what order you read them in. 4y
BookmarkTavern The first one‘s a good introduction, but no you don‘t have to read in any particular order. I hope you enjoy them! I remember loving them when I was a kid. 😁 4y
kaykay1307 You can read them in any order! Which is a good thing because there‘s so many of them! 4y

Jess_Read_This Any order! There might be a stray reference to another character but it doesn‘t affect the story. The two you have are original texts too. The yellow ones are revised texts that the Stratmeyer Syndicate altered for political correctness and publishing ease. 4y
Jess_Read_This Another neat thing, your Moss Covered Mansion might be a war time edition. There will be a disclaimer in it and the paper will be cheaper quality. I thought it was neat. The stories these books can tell! 4y
BarbaraJean @wideeyedreader @ozma.of.oz @kaykay1307 Thanks so much—it‘s great to know I don‘t need to start at the beginning (the holds list for the first one on Libby is loooong!). 4y
BarbaraJean @Jess_Read_This I love the look of these so much more than the yellow ones. I picked up both for only a dollar or two—love the silhouettes on the covers & endpapers! So fascinating about the wartime edition! Sadly, my copy isn‘t one—no disclaimer & the paper is the same in both. But my copy of Broken Locket has a library pocket on the inside cover with a handwritten checkout slip marking it as a “9-day book.” I love those little clues to the past! 4y

Some things I have been thinking while binge reading Nancy Drew.
Where the heck is River Heights?
Nancy Drew is fearless.
Nancy and her friends were constantly in real danger.
Despite being constantly in danger her friends always helped out.
Nancy was a bona fide badass! (See pic)
I still love Nancy Drew. 🔎❤️🔦

Crazeedi She was my first real hero. I need to re read these for sure. Just reading the titles makes me smile, I could probably saw a few off by heart. ❤️❤️ 5y

She hurried down the attic stairs. As she started along the hall Nancy heard #quarreling adult voices coming from one of the rooms near that of the twins‘. #QuotsyFeb19 #quarrel #NancyDrew

So I think I‘m getting to the point in the series where plot lines are becoming increasingly far fetched, but I‘ve got to say, I‘m still really enjoying these.

I found some of our old Nancy Drew books at @myellenbee 's house! I love that these are also old library books. I have so many memories of reading these at my grandparents' house when I was little.

Hands down, George and Bess. These ladies truly stuck by Nancy Drew and helped with all her mystery solving. 🔦🔍

Laura317 Even when poor Bess was terrified! 8y
RanaElizabeth This was my pick too! Bess and George immediately came to mind. 8y
JPeterson @Laura317 She was always such a sweetheart and a trooper to keep going! @RanaElizabeth Great minds! 8y
