Nancy Drew #139: The Secret of Candlelight Inn

This falls into the category of 'x needs money' type of stories. In this case it's a place that is planning to run an operation to train seeing-eye dogs and do other things to help blind people. Their money is limited and they are working out of an old inn which had been converted to a house.

The problem is that twenty-five years previously a counterfeit money operation was run out of the place and suddenly some of the bills produced during that time are showing up now. There's also the standard threat against someone to stop their investigation, a burglary or two with vandalism, and a whole group of possible suspects including one blind girl.

The story helps people learn about seeing-eye dogs and how they are selection and how not every dog is suitable to become a seeing-eye dog. There's a jealous boyfriend (who, in my opinion, is sort of a jerk), the theft of one of the dogs and even an attempt to kill people by sabotaging their food. It all makes for an interesting and fairly good story.
