Customer Reviews

the clue in the jewel box

I thought the quality of the book was just as the seller described. I bought it for my niece, so I have not read it. I did read all Nancy Drew when I was young.

More than what it seems to be!

This is way more than a mystery about a missing person! There's royalty involved, and other seemingly unrelated crimes that ultimately all become part of the main story. Without giving away the plot of The Clue in the Jewel Box, I'd like to say that it will turn out to be an excellent read. And, if you've ever been a fan of the old black-and-white mystery movies, you'll absolutely be able to imagine that you were watching one of those old films! Now, who would you cast as Nancy?

Great Book

This book was a great suspense/thriller book. Nancy helps an elderly woman named Mrs. Alexandra. Nancy befriends her and learns she is a queen from a distant country. Mrs. Alexandra tells her of a long lost grandson, which she is determined to find. Nancy is trying to solve that mystery, when she notices many pick-pocket thefts in her town of River Heights. Nancy then finds out the two mystery's are connected, and Nancy is determined to solve it. Nancy figures out the confusing burglury of wallets, and finds the long lost grandson of Mrs. Alexandra. This is a wonderful book, like all Nancy Drew's.

This book was adventerous, interesting, and full of life!

Nancy Drew and her friends help a former European queen locate her missing grandson, Prince Michael. It probably seems sooo boring, but NO! There are so many other mysteries located around this big one. It is jam packed with crooks, tensity, suspicion, detectives, conflics, and solution. It kept me hanging on the edge, asking myself, "What can possibly happen now? What's next?" I got those answers, and even though it was the first Nancy Drew I've ever read, I've taken in about seven more of her books since. I say,"READ THIS BOOK!!"
