Summary: Nancy Drew’s keen mind is tested when she searches for a missing will. ~Fantastic Fiction
My Thoughts: Wonderful! Absolutely the perfect start to the Nancy Drew phenomenon. I loved the mystery, the characters and even loved to hate the villains. The introduction to Carson Drew and Hannah was great, we really get to see why they’re so loved. Nancy was so likable that it amazed me. I went into reading this book expecting her to not be the same character that I already know and love simply because the writer hadn’t had a chance to develop her yet. But I was pleasantly surprised! I wish Bess, George and Ned had made an appearance but the book worked really well without them. I can’t wait to get to the book where they’re introduced.
