The Secret of The Old Clock by Carolyn Keene

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


I am evidently anomaly among readers. I skipped all the preteen and teen detective and romance stories and went straight for Wuthering Heights and Poe as a kid.

So, inspired by my teen detective aficionado friend, Shirley, I read this first Nancy Drew story. It was certainly quite bright and shiny, with perfect characters and a world of black and white but then, it was originally published in 1930 so there is that. The mystery was nice with no dead bodies or pure evil at all.

So I think i might even read more of these. They are fast and quite entertaining as Nancy hurries about in her convertible!
