The Haunted Showboat

Nancy, Bess and George go to New Orleans for Mardi Gras. they meet a woman named Donna Mae. The woman had been engaged to a man named Charles, but she dropped him for another man named Alex.

There's an old riverboat involved, along with two greedy and nasty thugs who are after hidden treasure. There's a good bit in the book about Mardi Gras and the swamp and the people who live there, and some about voodoo. There's also a maid named Mammy Matilda and a butler named Pappy Cole.

Nancy's car is stolen during the story and Mr. Drew gives her a new car, but a bomb is put in the car by the thugs. They are trying to stop Nancy from getting to New Orleans.

Once there, of course, Nancy is immediately involved in trying to find out what is going on about the old boat. The boat is even supposed to be haunted. There's a good bit of canoe travel in the story, a nasty alligator, George falls and is hurt somewhat, and Ned and Nancy are not only knocked out but nearly burned alive.

It all makes for a good story.
