Customer Reviews

40 years later this is still my favorite!

My story is this - when I was 10 my Aunt Margaret gave me my first Nancy Drew book. It changed my life. REading became my passion. Now 40 years later I still think back on that experience. I read them all. (At least all judged by 1966 standards.) But the clue of the broken locket was the BEST! Happy endings to top all endings. KIDS KEEP ON READING.

Great Book

The key of the broken locket is my favorite mystery book because there is so much suspence, which I love. I recomend this book to sixth graders, who love mysteries, mostly because it's amazing and surprising. I'm sure that anyone who reads this book will enjoy it, because it's really for any age. **Natalie**

I Love the Nancy Drew books!

The Nancy Drew books are all really great. But this one really caught my eye. It's about Nancy, Bess, and George going to meet Cecily, and trying to solve a ghost mystery. They figure out more of Cecily's past and solve the mystery about the mysterious boat. If you want a really great book, read this one and Carolyn Keene's other fantastic Nancy Drew mysteries. (The old ones are better than the new ones, though. Bugt they are also really good.)

A thriller, full of suspense and fun

Wonderful book, Carolyn Keene turns the mystery into a super challenge as Nancy and her friends escape many dangers as they deal with some tough crooks who will stop at nothing.
