[Whitney @ First Impressions Reviews]

There are two Nancy Drews! After being delivered a letter to a Nancy Smith Drew, Nancy commits a federal offense and opens someone Else's mail. This leads to the discovery that the other Nancy Drew has recently inherited a large sum of money. This leads Nan to find her along with the excitement of a new mystery.

I really liked this installment of the series because it had a race against time aspect to it not only to find Nancy Smith Drew but also to stop her from marrying a gold digger. This almost felt like a episode of The Dating Game gone wrong; a contestant being yanked off stage. As for the gold digger himself, he came off like Max Bialystock from The Producers asking little old ladies to make their checks out to CASH. Of course Nancy solves the case but only after she is drugged, blacking-out and nearly missing a very important plane flight to New York. But all ends well with Miss Drew being given lots of warm fuzzys and a glint in her eye awaiting her next mystery.
