Seemed the main focus by the ghostwriter was on the Amish people. Didn't have much mystery to it like other ND stories. We know who the villain is pretty early in the book. ( )

"Kitty stirrade på den lilla hopskrynklade papperslappen. Försiktigt slätade hon ut pappret och såg ett litet tecken, ritat med färgkrita - en cirkel med en svart stjärna i mitten.
Det var ett häxtecken, som man förr i tiden trodde skyddade mot trolldom. Men varför använde någon tecknet i dag? Var det ett skydd eller ett hot …"

I absolutely loved Nancy Drew growing up. This was a series I latched on to for dear life and never let go. Anytime my mom and I would go to antique stores, we'd peruse the Nancy Drews and add them to the collection (oftentimes my mom had to make deals with me on how many I could buy). So, while I don't remember the exact details of each and every one, the entire series was amazing and really fed my love for reading (especially novels full of suspense and mystery). Thank you, Carolyn Keene, for giving us an intelligent female character to fall in love with in Nancy Drew! ( )

When a neighbor asks Nancy Drew to accompany her to an old uninhabited mansion, a new mystery opens ups, and danger lurks on the second floor. Nancy finds a witch tree symbol that leads her to Pennsylvania Dutch country in pursuit of a cunning and ruthless thief.
The friendly welcome the young detective and her friends receive from the Amish people soon changes to hostility when it is rumored that Nancy is a witch! Superstition helps her adversary in his attempt to get her off his trail, but Nancy does not give up. Persistently she uncovers one clue after another.
Nancy’s intelligence and sleuthing ability finally lead to the fascinating solution of this puzzling case. ( )
