Mystery of the Moss Covered Mansion (Nancy Drew mystery stories / Carolyn Keene) Review
My 9-year-old niece is an avid Nancy Drew fan and enjoyed this entry in the series so I bow to her opinion. Here are a few comments from my reading:
- This edition is faithful to the original story from the Forties (clearly stated up front) and contains a few racial references and stereotypes that make one cringe nowadays.
- The plot seems a bit intricate and complicated for young readers.
- If you're sensitive to violence, be aware that there is a shooting involved (but I suppose that's true in many of these mysteries).
Other than that, my niece and I both found the book satisfying, and I imagine it's typical of the early Nancy Drew entries.

Kindle Readers Beware--This is NOT the Moss-Covered Mansion - Lori J. Enrico - Boise, ID
I bought this book on Kindle, but it is NOT "Nancy Drew 18: Mystery of the Moss-Covered Mansion." I don't know what book Amazon (or the publisher) sent me instead using this title, but it is not the same book. I have the original book on my book shelf at home, and it took place well before the Kennedy Space Center was named such (original copyright date of 1941). The original was actually a very good story and one of my favorite Nancy Drew mysteries. This "pseudo-story" is blaaaaaah. Isn't there some kind of quality control to ensure a title gets delivered to the Kindle with the correct corresponding story? Wouldn't this be a copyright infringement by sending this story attached to the wrong title? I'm really asking--I don't know copyright law. I feel cheated by being lured to buy this book, when it wasn't the real thing.
DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK ON KINDLE--IT'S A FAKE!

I bought this book for my niece for her B-Day! She loves Nancy Drew books!! She said this book was pretty good but not as good as some of the other ones she has read. She still enjoyed it none the less!
The M ystery of the Moss-Covered Mansion Review-----DEM_15 - -
I think this book was a very good mystery. I would recommend this book to litte children who like adventure's and mysteries. The scenes in this book is great it takes place in an Orange Grove in Florida. the mystery is about some kind of exploding oranges. This book is the eighteenth book that Carolyn Keene has written. Now she has over a million books written today. I especially recommend these books to young women that love mysteries.
