5.0 out of 5 stars You Especially Have to Read this One at Mardi Gras Time!!, February 6, 2003

This review is from: The Haunted Showboat (Nancy Drew Mystery Stories, No 35) (Hardcover)

What a chilling way to look at Mardi Gras in the Deep South! Nancy and her pals, Bess and George, are off on another adventure - this time to the river and bayou country near the Big Easy! Nancy and her friends solve an old family mystery while trying to end a lovers quarrel while trying to find a fortune in buried treasure. Having grown-up near New Orleans as a child, and visiting there for over 35 years, I can say that the majority of this book is true to life. It gives the reader a charming glimpse into the excitement of Mardi Gras and the relaxed ease of the river plantation life where unfortunately many things are "gone with the wind". Le Bon Temps Rolle (That's New Orleans talk for "Let the Good Times Roll!"

A Kid's Review

This review is from: The Haunted Showboat (Nancy Drew Mystery Stories, No 35) (Hardcover)

I'm almost always a HUGE Nancy Drew fan. This one was just not all that good. I found the "mystery" way to easy to figure out. Almost right away Nancy found out who the bad-guy was. There was just too much time wasted in the book, seriously the characters didn't do as much as they usually do. She had evidence against people, but she didn't do anything with it, it almost seems like she forgot it. I was thinking the "Haunted Showboat" would be scary like everyone said, but it wasn't at all. Having read more than half the series, which means some books set the mark high, this was just lower. It was a let down for ME. I wouldn't get this if I were you.
