Brief Book Summary:
A cunning thief is desperate to wreck the opening of a historic landmark -- and Nancy is his target!
On Gramercy Park in New York City, the magnificent Van Hoogstraten mansion with its priceless collection of glass birds is about to open to the public. Nancy, Bess, and George are invited, but a series of sinister events puts everything in chaos. When the centerpiece of the collection, a beautiful crystal bird, is stolen, Nancy gets on the case.
From family members with motives to keep the house, to an antiques dealer with a personal grudge, suspects abound. And when Nancy goes to the family's abandoned camp in the Adirondack forest, she zeroes in on the truth. In a violent nighttime thunderstorm on a solitary lake, Nancy confronts the culprit. The case is solved -- if she can get to shore alive!

As everyone knows by now wherever Nancy Drew goes there is a mystery awaiting. And she always seems to jump on a clue or something to solve it. You could say she is 160 of 160 in cases. I have read about 150 Nancy Drew books from the Nancy Drew files, Nancy Drew, and Nancy Drew on Campus. I find they are still good books to read in my pastime because there is still some mystery to them and most books keep you guessing.
In this installment of the forever lasting Nancy Drew series we have Nancy, Bess, and George going to New York City to visit the magnificent bird collection of the Van Hoogstraten family. The birds were supposidly done by Julius Van Hoogstraten the starter of thier empire. But as Nancy and her friends go to visit Dell Van Hoogstraten who is a friend of Nancy's Aunt Eloise things get out of hand as a crystal chandelier falls out of nowhere scaring the hell out of the guests. Things follow as the most prized peace of the collection the Crystal Dove is stolen. As Nancy is trying to solve a mystery in the present she must dig deep into the past of Julius Van Hoogstraten to find the sinister serect. As we all know she came through again but this time guessing who did it wasn't that easy. Still a good read.

"The Clue on the Crystal Dove" is a typical Nancy Drew book. Nancy, Bess, and George are off to visit Nancy's aunt Eloise in New York. While they're there they plan to also visit the grand opening of a collection of glass birds. You should know by now that Nan can't go anywhere without stumbling into a mystery. I found this book especially predictible in that I figured out who the culprit was the very very first time we met him/her. Reading this book, however, is not a bad way to spend a summer afternoon.
