"Med ett ilsket tjut störtade pälshandlaren fram mot Kitty och låste hennes händer på ryggen. Samtidigt kastade hans fru en mörk duk över huvudet på deras fånge.
Kitty kämpade emot när paret släpade iväg henne till ett rum innanför butiken.
- Lås upp det där skåpet kvickt! sa mannen till sin hustru.
Sedan knuffades Kitty in bland en massa pälsar i skåpet. Nyckeln vreds om i låset.
- Vi vet nog att du är en tjuv!"

I absolutely loved Nancy Drew growing up. This was a series I latched on to for dear life and never let go. Anytime my mom and I would go to antique stores, we'd peruse the Nancy Drews and add them to the collection (oftentimes my mom had to make deals with me on how many I could buy). So, while I don't remember the exact details of each and every one, the entire series was amazing and really fed my love for reading (especially novels full of suspense and mystery). Thank you, Carolyn Keene, for giving us an intelligent female character to fall in love with in Nancy Drew! ( )

#29 When Nancy learns that the Drews' housekeeper has been duped by an elegantly dressed woman into buying a stolen fur piece, the young detective starts a search for the clever swindler. To Nancy's astonishment, she discovers that the woman is using the name Nancy Drew. The dishonest acts of the impostor point the finger of suspicion at Nancy herself and result in her being questioned by the police. Nancy's determination to capture the elusive, dangerous Mitzi Channing takes her to northern New York State and Canada. At a gala winter event Nancy meets this situation and turns the tables on Mitzi Channing and her fellow thieves. ( )

I used to devour Encyclopedia Brown, the Three Investigators, and the Willard Price books, but for some reason when a friend gave me a Nancy Drew I was mildly offended that she thought I 'd enjoy such a silly girly series. It's possible that by that time I'd outgrown the others too, but I feel like I'd have felt more nostalgic than annoyed if given one of them. Yet really they're all the same kind of book, and as an adult now, though I find the plot a bit too linear and the characters a little thinly sketched, I do appreciate the many and varied female relationships. A nice quick read. ( )

This story left me breathless. At times, I felt that I was Nancy during sections of the story. It was a perfect read during a spate of hot weather LOL. ( )
