The Secret of the Old Clock is a classic juvenile mystery. Nancy the 18 year old sleuth is an adventurous, independent, and compassionate teen. This is a complete story, but the first of many books. Nancy becomes involved in a mystery of a new acquaintance’s relative’s second will. She meets several new people to find her clues. There are dangerous situations she becomes involved in. In the end, she uncovers the mystery to many people’s advantage. I like Nancy’s character, she is kind and self reliant. Not overly so, she also has strong connections to her father and their housekeeper. At times I felt that her father was a bit relaxed about the danger Nancy was putting herself in. Overall this was an enjoyable story, I regret not reading this series as a young teen. 📖
