I have loved Nancy Drew Mysteries since I was 8. I've had to have read over 200 of the various series.
This book is a wonderful tribute to the character of Nancy and Carolyn, the pen name for the books.
The book spans almost a hundred years and goes into the life of Edward Stratemeyer and have s family and the ghostwriter Mildred.
I'm sure there will be some folks disappointed that this isn't Nancypalooza straight out the gate but it certainly is a cracking good piece of historical fiction.
