I‘ve had this books for years I read it once, and was done. But as I was cleaning and moving books, I found it. I decided to give it another go and review it.
I liked this book, I wouldn‘t say its amazing, but it wasn‘t bad either. It had been so long since I read it, that I wasn‘t expecting the plot twists. The characters were likeable enough, but I wouldn‘t say that I was attached to them.

This was a good read. It was a little slow to begin with, but towards the end it got real exciting. Overall it was a good read. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Non-traditional mostly Emma retelling with a little bit of Pride and Prejudice thrown in. Library Hold that came in. There's a Wait List for it so I went ahead and read. This graphic novel was gorgeous! I truly believe that Jane Austen is for everyone and this showed that. I appreciated that it gave historical context at the end. 🎩

Listening to book two of this duology was such a treat, I felt even more so than the first book. I was transported every time I listened, and I was so invested in these characters that I found myself anxious for them. I didn‘t want it to end but also wanted to know how it turned out. I liked how this one focused more on the whole cast of characters, and I loved the romance between two different characters this time around… ⬇️

jen_the_scribe The world building between both books was awe-inducing, and the characters extremely likable. The narrator did such a fantastic job which is crucial for me when it comes to audiobooks. I‘m sad it‘s over! 6h

It‘s time for our discussion, #LittenDetectives ! I have 6 questions as spoilers posted. You can find them on my feed, the book‘s feed, or by searching #NancyDrewBR . This one was a bit of a hot mess in my opinion, but I just love reading these with you!!

I‘ll post the official graphic for next month‘s book, The Quest for the Missing Map, tomorrow. Not many variations between the editions this time!

6. Circling back to the adventures in the books...adult critics for the 1971 edition indicate Nancy's near-death experience in the pool as atypical of the stories. Some of you have also commented on the James Bond-esque escapades of Nancy. I did not read this one as a kid, so I'm not sure if I would have been awed or petrified (like Bess) at what Nancy experiences. Any thoughts? A favorite adventure in the book to share? #NancyDrewBR

DebinHawaii I‘m pretty sure I didn‘t read this in my youth as I remembered nothing about it. I pulled out a lot of favorites in my review especially the Austin Powers vibe, but still go back to the “spa” pool of boiling water (just why?) 🤨 & Ned disarming the “beamer” but saying NASA had better check it—it just made me laugh & roll my eyes! 👀 But I guess Nancy needs a man who has random talents for disarming things like her Dad & his bombs! 😂 (edited) 2h
DebinHawaii I remain disappointed there were no sharks with laser beams attached to their heads. A miss by the author in my mind! 😂 2h
DGRachel @DebinHawaii Sharks! 🤣🤣🤣 The boiling water thing - I finished the book and turned to my mom to demand those two hours of my life back, giving her a list of the weirdest things, including Nancy and Ned nearly being boiled like lobsters, and she just stared at me like I‘d lost my mind. Even she couldn‘t believe everything that was shoved into 177 pages. 2h

5. I don't know about you, but I found the supporting characters in the 1971 edition to be mostly rude. They just seem more abrasive than others from the prior books, including the culprits! I'd love to hear your take on the side characters in whichever edition you read! #NancyDrewBR

Bookwormjillk I agree. I didn't like any of them except I was glad Hannah was getting more in on the action. 6h
BarkingMadRead I don‘t understand the whole drama with the staff at the house. They ever actually did anything but creep around. How did the owner not know they were shady?!? 6h
bookandbedandtea @BarkingMadRead I was wondering the same thing! If you were paying people to oversee your business and "keep" your house surely you'd notice if all they were actually doing was sneaking around. ? 3h
DebinHawaii Yes, the Billingtons seemed wildly out of touch & a little dumb. The secondary characters were all pretty much caricatures, especially the bad guys. 3h
DGRachel I was surprised by just how unpleasant the Resardos were. I kept thinking they couldn‘t possibly be the bad guys because they were SO obvious. 2h
