Nancy Drew #10: Password To Larkspur Lane

Here is my review for Nancy Drew mystery #10, Password To Larkspur Lane.

 The book starts off like this: Nancy and Hannah Gruen, the Drew's housekeeper, are in the garden looking at flowers for Nancy to submit to the flower show when a plane flies over head and stalls, and a pigeon drops from it! Just as the plane looks like it's about to crash, it noses upwards and leaves. Nancy examines the bird that landed into the flower bush and takes it inside to care for it. while doing so, she notices it is a carrier pigeon and reads the message, hoping to find a clue to the owner. It has a strange message: "Trouble here. After five o'clock blue bells will be singing horses. Come tonight." Nancy and Hannah pick some lovely Larkspurs and as Nancy arranges them in an old English vase, and then drives it to the flower show, she ponders over it.

   I would give this book a 8/10. It has a good mystery,  but it was kind of hard to follow and it was jam packed full of action. I liked it, but it was a little too action packed. I would recommend it, and I realized it is one of the only mysteries Nancy solves where the title doesn't start with " The Mystery" or "The". This and Nancy's Mysterious Letter. Well, time to go read #11, The Clue of The Broken Locket!
