The Clue of the Broken Locket // Chapter 16 // Directions to a Treasure

#NancyDrew #Audiobook #Mystery #Reading #ReadAloud When Nancy Drew and her friends arrive at Misty Lake, they meet pretty, red-haired Cecily Curtis, who seeks Nancy’s help in solving two mysteries. One concerns Cecily’s fiancé, Niko Van Dyke, a popular singer who believes that his record company is cheating him of royalty payments. The other invovles a family treasure hidden before the start of the Civil War; Cecily’s only clue is half of a gold locket. Nancy’s investigations lead her to Pudding Stone Lodge, where the sinister Driscoll family lives. Strange coincidences give Nancy plenty of opportunity to test her sleuthing skills. Braving a series of dangerous situations and discouraging developments, the alert young detective perseveres in her attempts to solve both mysteries and reveal the astounding secrets of Pudding Stone Lodge. This is one of my favorite Nancy Drew books, even though dopey Ned is in it. And Rudy Nappi's ND covers are the BEST. This particular one is a favorite of mine. https://americanillustration.org/proj... WARNING: I do not have the technical wherewithal to edit out any flubs, goofs or boners.
