Author: Caroline Keene

Age: 8+

Content: Not really anything to worry about. Boyfriends are involved, but nothing bad. Some haunting and kidnapping, but nothing extreme.

Summary: Nancy a teenage mystery solving "fanatic" solves over a 170 mysteries. Each has its own book. She is joined by her two friends George (Georgina) Fayne and Bess Marvin , her two loyal sidekicks. Her single father dad, Carson Drew, is a well known lawyer in River heights where they live.  Nancy uses her sleuthing intuition to help catch many wanted criminals.

My View: Great Mystery/Thriller books. They keep you on the edge of your seat the whole time. Great for older and younger readers. The author describes things in great detail.
