Even though there was finally only one narrative it was oozing with stereotypes and weird incidents as well. Overall, it was quite frustrating because the narrative wasn‘t pushed forward, but Nancy was feeling the same.

BarkingMadRead Oh how fun! What could go wrong with pottery? 🤣 2w
Librarybelle @BarkingMadRead Why do I have a sneaky suspicion we‘ll hear all about how great Nancy is at making pottery?!? 😂 2w

Ruthiella @Librarybelle What if it‘s another industrial espionage one where someone is stealing a pottery trade secret! 🤔 2w
Sace This book always stands out for me because it was the first time Nancy Inspired me to read another book (non-fiction) about the subject presented in the mystery. 2w
Librarybelle @Ruthiella It could be! 2w
Librarybelle That‘s so cool, @Sace ! 2w

I love when I get to see the results of an author‘s research. Nancy Drew is educational 😂

I was not as interested in this installment as I have been with others, but even with a so-so rating it was a nice way to spend the time. It felt like the only reason Ned was in his one was to swoop in and rescue Nancy.

Ruthiella But those people really needed the insurance Ned sold them! I don‘t think you are looking at the big picture here. 😅 3w
Librarybelle @Ruthiella 😂 That‘s hilarious! 3w
Sace @Ruthiella I completely forgot about that! I stand corrected. 😂 (So does this mean Ned has graduated from Emerson College?) 3w
Ruthiella Ned will never graduate from Emerson College. Nancy will never age beyond 18. And yet the decades will slowly pass, ushering in new technologies and changing American culture…😵‍💫 You're travelling through another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind; a journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of imagination - Next stop, the Twilight Zone! 😱😂 3w

I‘ve fallen behind on the #NancyDrewBR but I‘m hoping to catch up in the coming weeks. @Librarybelle

Bookwormjillk I still love the side eye on that cover 4w
Ruthiella You will catch up in no time. I do love how swiftly these books can be read. 4w
Sace @Ruthiella and that‘s just what I need right now! 4w

I‘m late finishing this one for #nancydrewbr and I think I have another potentially #unpopularopinion. 😂 I was surprised to see this with a 33% rating and I enjoyed it for exactly the reasons many hated it. While I have major objections to the Romany stereotypes and the pejorative used to name them, I liked that the mystery didn‘t involve a lot of secret rooms and exploding oranges. The side characters were awful, but that was part of the charm.

Ruthiella Nice to read a positive review of this one! 😃 (edited) 1mo
Librarybelle It was nice to have a different type of mystery—agree on that! 1mo
Sace I just started this one and while I hate the ethnic insensitivity the mystery itself seems really interesting. 3w
DGRachel @Sace That‘s a good term. There‘s a lot of ethnic insensitivity in these books and it‘s disturbing but not unexpected. 3w
Sace Yes, I am finding the conversation around the Romany really gross. 3w

Not a particularly good installment in this series. There were unappealing side characters, problematic stereotypes and a mess of a plot.

TheAromaofBooks I'm gathering from various reviews that this wasn't the strongest entry in the series 😂 1mo
Seabreeze_Reader Which Nancy Drew book has been your favorite so far? 1mo
kwmg40 @Librarybelle @TheAromaofBooks Glad I'm not alone in disliking this one! 1mo
kwmg40 @Seabreeze_Reader Hard to say, as there have been several I've liked very much, but The Clue of the Broken Locket and The Secret in the Old Attic come to mind. 1mo

Alright #LittenDetectives ! It‘s time for our #NancyDrewBR discussion! This one was a hot mess, and I think most of us feel that this is not a strong entry in the series. But, it was fun to go back to River Heights and visit with Nancy and the gang.

I have 5 questions posted. They can be found on my feed, the book‘s feed, or by searching the group‘s hashtag.

Next month we encounter The Ghost of Blackwood Hall!?! 👻 Official post tomorrow!
