Nancy Drew #17, Mystery of the Brass-Bound Trunk- Review

Updated: Oct 5, 2021


by: Carolyn Keene

rating: really liked


-There were some poor depictions of the use and purpose of sign language. This seemed badly researched and handled in a way that was not becoming of Nancy (she seemed very ableist)

-This is the first "closed room" mystery we get in the series. I wish they would have played up more suspects instead of really zoning in on one culprit

-Nancy is finally not the best at everything because of Nelda (who shares her initials!). Nancy's personality was definitely different than the previous 16 books. She was more flirty and not as good of a sleuth.

-The impossibility of this one is high with a meteor falling out of the sky and a miraculous overboard rescue.
