Narrative In Favor Of Books The Sign of the Twisted Candles (Nancy Drew Mystery Stories #9)
With the tower room, the twisted candles, and the mysterious old man forming the basis for the setting, there’s just enough of a creepy factor to make this an enticing read. Throw in some secret and stealthy searches, the usual bad guys, and a few overzealous relatives and you’ve got the makings of a good mystery. I liked this one better than #8 but not as well as some of the others. I can see kids being enchanted by the story but as an adult I found it just average.Rating Regarding Books The Sign of the Twisted Candles (Nancy Drew Mystery Stories #9)

I should be embarrassed to add this to my "read" books, but I just finished it and wanted to record it in Goodreads. Wanting something light and fun to read, I selected it from our bookroom, and enjoyed every minute reading it...again. The last time I read it was a looooong time ago. Today the language is rather stilted, but the action moves right along. Why the old man wanted to keep Sadie's heritage a secret is not revealed. That part of the book was nonsensical to me, but then again, it is aNancy, George and Bess visit George and Bess's family members at an inn known as "The Sign of the Twisted Candles". Here they're caught in a family feud over the oldest member of the family's fortune. 100-year-old Asa Sydney passes away, but no one knows what became of his priceless fortune. And let me tell you, this family gets vicious. They're very cutthroat and manipulative over who gets what. But of course Nancy is willing to help out, especially when it comes to young Carol, a foster child
I remember as a kid sitting in the living room by the fire reading Nancy' s mysteries! They all had the same theme, but I didn't care. At that age, I couldn't wait to read more!

Yet another of my mother's Nancy Drew books, this one I had read when we first found them, but it's been a while so I decided to give this one another go with my current nostalgia trip.This one starts on a dark and stormy night, which causes Nancy and her friends Bess and George to stop at an isolated place none of them had ever heard of called the Sign of the Twisted Candles. While waiting out the storm, Nancy stumbles onto her next mystery, involving the proprietor of the inn, a young orphan

Full of adventure and mystery on every page. I will say that Nancy is often saving the future of some poor orpaned girl who one day will inherit a fortune, perhaps a bit far fetched, but fun for young girls. A dear friend of mine recently told me that her seven year old granddaughter is working her way through Nancy's mysteries, and loving them. I think it's wonderful that yet another group of young girls are enjoying these mysteries as much as we once did. I will also note that I don't seem to
