I've only read a few of the Girl Detective stories and have enjoyed most of them.
In Uncivil Acts, River Heights is preparing for a Civil War reenactment that has divided the town including Nancy, George, and Bess.
Despite this division, Nancy finds a mystery where several crimes begin to escalate into larger crimes beginning with the car accident of the event planner and leading up to attempted poisonings, pyrotechnic mishaps, and planned shootings of the town bigshot, Art.
The mystery had a few red herrings and brief bits of history. I actually would have preferred the history to be less fictional so that younger readers will know history and not fictionalizations.
Overall, not a bad story, and I enjoyed that the relationship between George, Bess, and Nancy showed the occasional tension. I recommend Uncivil Acts to Nancy Drew fans of all ages.
⭐⭐⭐1/2
