THE SECRET OF SHADOW RANCH

With her wits and her ever present girlfriends, the resourceful Nancy Drew foils a gang of bank robbers and kidnappers. Laura Linney brings the young sleuth and her gal pals to life throughout their adventure. Using a drawl to personify the cowboys they meet while on vacation out West, Linney provides a seamless narration. With just the right dramatic flair, the self-deprecating Nancy Drew keenly solves the mystery of a romantic legend involving an outlaw and a ranch-owner's daughter. Whether facing a phantom horse, a rock slide, or a raging river, Nancy keeps her cool and prevails. D.L.M. (c) AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine [Published: AUG/SEP 03]
