Nancy Drew #6: The Secret at Red Gate Farm

This is a review for Nancy Drew book #6, The Secret at Red Gate Farm.

The book starts off like this: Nancy, Bess and George are on the train from shopping, and Bess bought a perfume called 'Blue Jade' at a ridicules price- 20 dollars an ounce! Back when the books were written, you could buy a weeks worth of groceries for $7; so that was a lot! Across the isle, a girl about 18 was deathly pale and asleep. Bess decides she wants to try on her perfume, and when she does, the train lurches and she spills perfume everywhere. When Nancy looks over, the mysterious girl has fainted!

Actually, to be honest, I relly don't like this book. Towards the end, I just skipped pages from what I guess you would call "secondhand embarrassment" . I would give this book a 4/10. I don't really like the characters or the scenes. I didn't like the idea of a 'cult' and the boarders were rude. I know other people will have different opinions, but those are mine.

Now, to go read one of my favorite Nancy Drew books ever, The Clue in The Diary!
