The Clue on the Crystal Dove

From the minute I got hold of this book, I couldn't put it down!!!!!! The plot's good, too. Most Nancy Drew fans would love it!

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.

Nancy Drew visits her Aunt Eloise in New York City along with her best friends Bess and George. Aunt Eloise's best friend, Delphinia Van Hoogstraten, is just about ready to open a glass bird museum--in her very own home!! The glass birds were supposedly made by Delphinia's late uncle, but from what Nancy gathers, Uncle Van Hoogstraten may have left behind more than glass birds! Trying to expose the reasons behind a threatening note, a broken chandelier, and a missing crystal dove, Nancy, Bess, and George investigate all they can about the Van Hoogstraten past, from family to friend--and dicover new dangers in the present!!
