This is the 18th book in the Nancy Drew series, and the one I'm reviewing here is the 1971 text revision of a 1941 original book. Elsewhere I have done a direct comparison between the two texts.
This book revolves around NASA and an up-coming Apollo moon shot. It also involves coded personal ads, some very nasty housekeepers, wild animals like leopards, a crooked realtor, saboteurs, Ned and two of his friends, arson and foreign intrigue. Quite a handful for one volume but it works.
The story is well done (although it's obvious from the first time the reader encounters the caretakers that they are part of what is going on). It's also obvious that the Drews are financially well-off as they already have one house but are going to buy another one in Florida.
