I was a huge Nancy Drew fan and loved her mysteries. Since my library has many books that I read as a child, I thought I'd revisit some of them.

Nancy Drew meets some older women who are taking care of their great niece. They tell her a story of a relative who recently died. He told them he would leave them money in his will, but the will that was recently read left them penniless. Nancy believes there may be a more recent will and is determined to find it.

The story was simple and fast moving. I was surprised that the dialogue seemed so formal. Most people do not speak that way. Still, it was an entertaining mystery. My rating: 3.5 Stars.
