Cute and heartwarming tale

My daughter and I loved it! A treat for all Nancy Drew fans. Will look for more from this author.

Couldn’t Stand the Narrator

After 3 chapters, our family couldn’t take the narrator anymore. Her intonation made everyone sound like twerpy tweens - which we don’t think was the author’s intention. We found a copy of the book in print through inter-library loan and will finish it as a family read aloud. Not sure about the story itself, but highly recommend skipping this Audible.

A wonderful surprise!

Okay, I confess, I bought this book based on the title and cover. I didn’t know it would have anything to do with Nancy Drew. Nancy was my second favorite girl-sleuth when I was little. Trixie Belden was my favorite!

This book is a heartwarming family drama that is wrapped up in a cozy mystery. There was also a little history on the creators of the original Nancy Drew series that made me cringe. But by the time I got to read the stories, they had been overly sanitized and made acceptable.

In glancing at other reviews I see complaints about the narrators voice. For the first couple of minutes, I was taken aback by her voice as well. But I quickly fell into the mystery of the story and was happy that the narrator made me forget I was heating an audiobook. I give her 5 stars for doing a stellar job.

As for the story, it was wonderful. I am left smiling and wishing this author could continue with more stories about these delightful people.
