`	Mark @ Carstairs Consider , April 08, 2018 (view all comments by Mark @ Carstairs Consider) When Nancy meets several heirs who expected money from a man who recently died, she tries to track down a later will to help them out. Does one even exist? Can she find it? It's funny reading this book knowing so much about the series. Several supporting characters aren't here, and I missed them. Still, Nancy is a strong main character (if a bit too perfect at times) who solves the mystery on her own. A couple of slow spots are the only real flaw to the book that launched such a famous character.

`	CurlyQue , November 17, 2014 (view all comments by CurlyQue) When my grandparents got me this book, many years ago, i immediately loved it. The mystery, the tension, the smart female heroine it started my reading the entire series through my local library (all of which are great, but this one is my favorite).
