Book: Nancy Drew: The Clue of the Whistling Bagpipes by Carolyn Keene (Nancy Drew #41)
Description:
Warnings not to go to Scotland can't stop Nancy Drew from setting out on a thrill-packed mystery adventure.
Undaunted by the vicious threats, the attractive young detective - with her father and her two close friends - goes to visit her great-grandmother at an imposing estate in the Scottish Highlands, and to solve the mystery of a missing family heirloom.
And there is another mystery to be solved: the fate of flocks of stolen sheep.
Baffling clues challenge Nancy's powers of deduction: a note written in the ancient Gaelic language, a deserted houseboat on Loch Lomond, a sinister red-bearded stranger in Edinburgh, eerie whistling noises in the Highlands. Startling discoveries in an old castle and in the ruins of a prehistoric fortress, on a rugged mountain slope and in a secluded glen, lead Nancy closer to finding solutions to both mysteries.
Wearing a time-honored tartan, Nancy climbs the mountain of Ben Nevis in the dark of night and plays a tune of historic heroism on the bagpipes -all part of her daring plan to trap the sheep thieves and to recover the valuable heirloom.
Rating: 4 stars
My Review:
Nancy Drew always finds herself involved in an interesting mystery or two and in "The Clue of the Whistling Bagpipes", Nancy attempts to solve several mysteries that coincide. Before Nancy and her father can even start their trip to Scotland, her parked car is in a suspicious accident followed by several scare attempts to try to get the Drews to back out on their trip. But nothing will stop Nancy from trying to solve a mystery. Accompanying her on her trip are her best friends cousins Bess and George.
I absolutely love reading Nancy Drew books, they are a great read. What I like about Nancy is, she's not a damsel-in-distress, she uses her intelligence and courageous spirit to try to solve crimes. I can't wait to read more from the classic series.
