As a student in middle school, one of our very first assignments was to read "The Bungalow Mystery". When we were given the assignment, I primarily thought it was a book for girls. I also had the impression that it might be below my reading level, until I found myself looking up words I did not understand. From the very very first sentence, I was hooked and enjoyed it until I finished, even though there were a few slow moving parts. Because this was the very first Nancy Drew Mystery I ever read, I didn't understand some of the allusions the characters were referring to in previous books. In conclusion, I feel compelled say that this was a fun mystery, and a novel with a sense of humor.

The Bungalow Mystery
Book 3 Nancy Drew
I have read this book several times in my lifetime. My very first time was as an eighth-grader. Next, I read Nancy Drew while raising my girls. I'm now on the third-go-around. This time, I listened to the book on CD, and found it as exciting as ever.
Nancy and her friend, Helen Corning, are on vacation at a resort. When they take a boat out on the water, a storm capsizes their boat. Nancy and Helen's calls for help, bring a sixteen-year-old girl, Laura, to their rescue.
Helen and Nancy are concerned for Laura, who has lost her mother and is planning to meet up with her new guardians. When Nancy is called home, to care for her housekeeper, Hannah, who has a broken leg, she makes a mental note to check on Laura.
Laura finds out that her guardians are trying to steal her mother's jewels. She runs away, to Riverheights, where Nancy lives. Nancy Drew sets out alone to investigate Laura's guardians.
Nancy stumbles upon a securities theft, and a stolen identity, when she sets out to solve the Bungalow Mystery.

Book number three in the Nancy Drew series, THE BUNGALOW MYSTERY, is actually a smart and sassy little whodunit. Actually, that's incorrect. It is well known who "dunit". The book is about how Miss Nancy is going to right the wrong as she untangles the numerous machinations of the villains--in this case, the Dowds. There is considerable melodrama but that only adds to the excitement--each chapter ending with a cliffhanger. Unfortunately, I have read very few of these novels so I'm unable to put it into context with the rest of the Nancy Drew mystery empire.... I found the book not only fun but quite literate.

This Nancy Drew mystery moves fairly quickly, there is regular action and suspense. It begins with Nancy and her friend Helen boating on a lake when a storm comes up. Their boat strikes a log and quickly sinks. Teenage Laura Pendleton comes to their rescue, saving their lives. Laura is a girl with a problem; her parents have recently died, leaving her a wealthy girl.
In the event of such a situation, Laura's parents have arranged for a married couple called the Aborns to be named her guardians. However, when Laura meets them, they turn out to be greedy and conniving people. They treat Laura as a virtual prisoner, steal some of her assets and demand even more. Nancy gets on the case, tracking down the criminals and discovering that the people claiming to be the Aborns are in fact imposters. After several adventures and some time in captivity, Nancy is able to chase down the imposters and their cohorts when they crash a car. The chivalrous Nancy and her group risk danger to rescue the criminals before their car explodes.
I grew up reading the Hardy Boys series of adventure books and occasionally amuse myself by rereading them. My particular interest is in how the tone, content and presentation of the stories have changed over time. In a similar vein I occasionally read a book in the Nancy Drew series. This story was originally written in 1930 and was updated for the 1988 publication. While some modernization has been done, this is still essentially a story for the 1930's. Nancy is still extremely curious and intelligent, yet in many ways still a member of what was at that time considered "the weaker sex."

Great to hear the book on CD. Laura Linney is a wonderful story reader. We can hardly wait for more of the Nancy Drew series to come out on CD.
