THE HIDDEN STAIRCASE

Laura Linney transports the listener into the thick of the action as Nancy Drew undertakes to help out her dear friends and rescue her father. In this early Keene mystery set in the environs of an old stone mansion, Nancy is frustrated at almost every turn, but, still, she is always proper, always ready to fix a meal, rarely discouraged, and always ready to set off in pursuit. For longtime Drew fans, the mystery unfolds with satisfying regularity. For new listeners, Linney brings an immediacy and a freshness that keep the listener at Nancy's side as she solves another mystery. A.R. (c) AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine [Published: FEB / MAR 03]
