The Clue of the Broken Locket

This is the eleventh book in the Nancy Drew mystery series. The revised text version of the book covers the story of a group of guys who are pirating records, kidnapping people, and mistreating kids. The local police don't really have any respect for Nancy and she doesn't get much cooperation from them until near the end of the story.

The story also involves inheritance and hidden treasure from the time of the Civil War. There's also a phantom ship, a sabotaged canoe, the broken locket, a hidden passageway, and the usual assortment of thugs who will stop at nothing to get what they want.

Nancy actually has to deal with several mysteries at the same time which makes things a little complicated for her. She again shows one of her strengths and that is the ability to do the necessary research to find out the history of the physical places involved in the mysteries. She also makes careful plans and has a very good way of tying clues together.

Another good book in the series.
