The Mystery in Tornado Alley

What drew me to this book was the use of tornadoes. A good part of the book is actually based on actual tornado-hunting practices and also contains a good bit of information about tornadoes. Some of the events remind me of some tornado disaster fiction films I have seen since Nancy ends up being narrowly missed by one and is actually picked up (in a car) by another tornado.

It's also a somewhat unusual Nancy Drew book since the criminal actually ends up paying for his crimes right then.

The basic idea is that Hannah seems to have inherited a small farm and the group goes to check things out. They meet a guy with a really bad attitude, Jimmy Boyd. The mystery involves Nancy's finding of a duffel bag in a tree (after a tornado has gone by), and the bag contains ransom notes. So, the crime has not yet been committed, and Nancy wants to stop it from happening.

She ends up with several suspects. As usual, she gets hit on the head and knocked out by the criminal and also ends up being kidnapped and nearly killed. It's a good story.
