Another great mystery solved by Nancy Drew. This one has espionage and a murderous plot!

I found it simple minded and implausible. It had too much telling and not enough showing and there was nothing left to the reader to work out. It made me cringe as I tried to finish it as quick as possible. I will say that it is good to get into reading as I remember enjoying them when I was younger.

This one is full of adventure but also kind of disappointing. Nancy doesn't really solve the mystery, the answer simply becomes clear when she is kidnapped.

I felt like there were too many characters in this one. I had trouble keeping track of who was who at times. Often they would refer to someone by their first names, but then sometimes call them Mr./Mrs. (insert last name). I found myself having to turn back a few times to figure out who was who. Also the ending felt forced to me. Everything was tied up a little too neatly and it just didn't feel realistic.
