I liked it a lot; there are others I enjoyed more but that is a good one.<br /><br />I have read Crooked Heart and loved it, and have a copy of Old Baggage but haven't read it yet. I am pretty sure the two connect, but only by having one character in common. Could be wrong though.<br />TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3013114232214923198.post-60711661088817388052022-05-09T05:40:16.940-04:002022-05-09T05:40:16.940-04:00I think there's also a movie/ documentary on t...I think there's also a movie/ documentary on the Ned Kelly gang, which I'd wanted to watch at some point but never got around to it. And if you're going to recommend The Return of the Twelves for Bronte fans, I am all-in! I really love those old books with those really fascinating titles and covers - Return of the Twelves seems to match all of these conditions!<br />~Lex (lexlingua.co)Lex @ Lexlinguahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02251881629769380423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3013114232214923198.post-49564937187706371402022-05-07T20:38:01.888-04:002022-05-07T20:38:01.888-04:00What a different chain!

Her books all sound a bit quirky; you must have liked it, Sue, or you wouldn't have gone back for more, presumably!<br /><br />Helen, did you come across any of her books? I liked Five Dolls in a House but not all the books in that series were published in the US so I did not read them all.<br /><br />Mary, the very first Nancy Drew is The Secret of the Old Clock. I think it is the best known although I agree The Clock Strikes Twelve sounds like a much-used title. I liked The Secret of the Old Clock because it explained about wills and codicils, which I found fascinating.CLMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03595294217111602231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3013114232214923198.post-30344297387496083372022-05-07T18:47:44.306-04:002022-05-07T18:47:44.306-04:00Was there also a Nancy Drew book called The Clock ...Was there also a Nancy Drew book called The Clock Strikes Twelve, or am I just imagining that there certainly should have been?
