" MYSTERIOUS LETTER " Needs Some White Out,
By Sens4ever "Wood" (Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Nancy Drew 08: Nancy's Mysterious Letter (Hardcover)
When the mail is stolen from the mailman at the Drew residence Nancy Finds out there was a letter addressed to her from England. She finds out later that the letter was intended for a heiress also named Nancy Drew.Nancy then begins a search to track down the missing woman. It later becomes obvious that a man is preventing Nancy from find the missing woman. A suspect named Edgar Nixon becomes the subject of her investigation. Through clues Nancy finds out that Edgar is planning to marry the heiress and then plans to steal her inheritance. She also discovers that Edgar is engaged in swindling racket that involves many innocent and trusting people. Perilous situations seem to be the norm for Nancy throughout the mystery. Although the book started off very good I thought it lacked finish. It seemed that near the end it was more filler then mystery. The finish had no real big climax. It was too rushed I thought. I gave it two stars for this particuler reason.

Keene Very Keen on Mystery Books,
This review is from: Nancy Drew 08: Nancy's Mysterious Letter (Hardcover)
Nancy's Mysterious Letter is only one of many well-written books by Carolyn Keene. Keene does it again. With each book, the action starts on page 1. Sometimes it's so suspenseful that I actually worry about Nancy's predicament. Keene's vivid descriptions of the characters really bring out the color in them. I haven't read this particular book in a few years, but the style of Keene's writing is still fresh in my mind. This series of mystery books is a must-have for Nancy Drew lovers abroad.

Nancy's Mysterious Letter Review :),
By A Customer
This review is from: Nancy Drew 08: Nancy's Mysterious Letter (Hardcover)
In "Nancy's Mysterious Letter", Nancy receives a letter from London. Not just any letter though, it tells of her inheritance of a small fortune. Unfortunately, the inheritance is for a different Nancy Drew. But before all this, Nancy invites her elderly mail carrier, Ira Nixon, in the house for some hot chocolate because it was winter and very cold. When Ira has bid Nancy farewell and is about to leave, he discovers his mailbag has bean stolen! Then later on, Nancy discovers the thief who stole Ira's mailbag is planning to marry the other Nancy Drew for her fortune. Meanwhile, nobody told the other Nancy Drew about her inheritance! Nancy's out on a mystery to discover who stole the mail, and who the real heiress to the fortune awaiting in London is.Overall, it was ok. Maybe if it had more suspense and action, I prefer those kinds of books. I'm not sure if this was just a dud, or if all the Nancy Drew books are like this because this is the first one I've read. The thing that bugs me is that everything works out so perfectly through the story, so it gets boring, and there's no surprise in the ending. Just because I don't care for it though, don't you not read it. If you like innocent mysteries and old-fashioned stories, you'll probably love this. *_~
