This one is fun and very obviously written in a time when you could just take boats from one Key to the next, the open water was safe and everything seemed so much more accessible and unrestricted. I enjoy it when Nancy has a potential beau other than Ned Nickerson. Lovely and patient as Ned is, one always hopes he'll get a "spine" in the next mystery.
I read the entire series as a girl and am rereading them now as a grandmother. They are relaxing and always neatly wrapped up with the "good guys" winning. The series is refreshing in the face of so many slasher and dark mysteries that populate today's fiction.
(My one complaint about the Kindle editions is the number of misspellings and typos and even incorrect words and verb tenses. At times it interferes with the enjoyment of a paragraph. One that is repeated in multiple Kindle Nancy Drews is the word "profferred". Apparently, Carolyn Keene liked to use this word and Kindle always prints it as "preferred". It should read "he profferred his resignation", but Kindle has "he preferred his resignation". It's as if they are auto-edited and not proofread. Still and all, very happy that they are offered on Kindle.)
