Nancy Drew 48: The Crooked Banister
Nancy Drew 48: The Crooked Banister | Carolyn Keene
3 posts | 16 read | 1 to read
Nancy and her friends Bess and George spend an exciting week exploring a mysterious zigzag house with its fantastically crooked staircase, its bizarre serpent picture, and an unpredictable robot that nearly causes the young detective to lose her life. But despite the threat of danger from the robot, Nancy is determined to solve the mystery of the weird house and to locate the missing owner who is wanted by the police. It takes keen logic and quick thinking for the young detective to plow through the tangled thicket of clues and find the key to this complex puzzle. With the help of her friends, Nancy captures an elusive swindler and uncovers the secret of the crooked banister, but not before they have several hair-raising adventures one on a broken bridge over flaming water, another in a hidden room with poisoned portraits!

I always enjoy Nancy Drew mysteries and often re-read them. Nancy is such an inspiring heroine and so kind.

I forgot to post this one! Nancy gets called in to help track down a swindler who has jumped bail. She and her friends must solve several mysteries involving Rawley Banister‘s strange house. Hidden rooms, poison, a moat on fire, and a malevolent robot all add up to a little more than I can believe (or a lot!), then a conman running an Indian children-support scam...there‘s a lot going on!
47 Nancys down.

Old Nancy Drews are generally good fodder for a #crazycover photo challenge. Couldn't decide which I liked better, electric pink robot of doom, or ghostly stingray emerges from fireplace?

DGRachel That's a tough call, but I'm leaning towards the killer robot. That pink is striking! 😂😂😂 8y
TheKidUpstairs @DGRachel it is a pretty spectacular colour choice. Especially with Nancy's classic strawberry blonde 'do! 8y
DebinHawaii The Crooked Bannister was one of my favorites and I had that same cover. Too fun! 🤖👍📚 8y
