i must say, i thought this was a more "radical" book than the others and ahead of it's times. This book involved Lieutenant Masters (a FEMALE police officer) and centered around a 'crippled' woman and providing resources to handicapped children.
as i was reading this book, I am more confused than ever as to where the fictional River Heights is located. A part of me thinks it might be Ohio. In this book (and others) Nancy and friends visit New York by car. In this book, Nancy and Dad visit the Hamptons. This book focuses on an old castle, Heath Castle, just outside of River Heights. This castle is on the shore of a beach off the Muskoka River (which, I just googled and it's a river in Ontario, Canada). Anyhow, I must realize the River Heights is fictional and maybe isn't in any state at all.
Here's the run down of this book:
Julia Johnson is a professional dancer* who has been missing for almost 10 years. Nancy is approached by Lieutenant Masters to help find Julia because the Heath estate is to be willed to her and time is running out! Nancy has 3 weeks (this is the first time Nancy has acknowledge a time frame in order to solve a mystery) to find the professional dancer.
*what type of dancer she is was never mentioned.
Let's just say I wasn't surprised by this ending too much, except, let's just say Nancy may or may not have suggested that the fresh spring mineral water found at the Heath Castle should be bottled and sold for a profit...
