Nancy Drew-she is a young, beautiful, level headed, 18 year old girl, who solves mysteries. Mr. Josiah Crowley, whom people called a strange man, died and promised a lot of people they would be in his will.
In this story Nancy Drew is solving a mystery about Mr. Crowley’s will. Nancy was talking to Mary and Edna and they told Nancy about Mr. Crowley: how he promised to put them in his will since they were so poor, but he never did. Later Nancy met two other girls, Allison and Grace who Mr. Crowley also promised these girls a spot in the will. Nancy later found out that two men and Ms. Abby also were promised a spot in the will but they never got money either. Nancy then found out that the actual money went to a mean family named the Tophams.
Nancy went to the Topham’s house pretending to sell tickets, but she was really searching for an old mantel square clock with a crescent on top. This clock is believed to be the clue to Mr. Crowley’s will. When she asked the Tophams about the clock, they told Nancy that it was in their summer bungalow at Moon Lake. When she went to the summer bungalow, the house was empty. As she was looking in the study hall, she heard someone coming in the house. Nancy hid in a closet. Whoever was in the house heard Nancy make a noise from inside the closet and locked her in the closet. Does Nancy get out of the closet? Does she find the clock and solve the mystery? You will have to read the book to find out. This was a very good book to read, because of the mystery of the clock and the will. I would recommend this book to read if you like mysteries.
