About the book: 1934 / Nancy Drew and her friends found themselves drawn into a cycle of strange events while visiting Misty Lake. On the night of their arrival, they met the attractive red-haired Cecily Curtis, who turned to Nancy for help in solving two mysteries at once. The first involves Cecily's fiancé, Nico Van Dyck, a popular singer who believes his record company is cheating him out of royalties. The second concerns family treasures hidden before the Civil War, Cecily has only one clue - half of a gold medallion. Nancy's investigation led to the Pudding Stone house, where the sinister Driscoll family lived. Subtle humming sounds, flickering lights in the cabin's attic, periodic appearances of the excursion boat that sank in Misty Lake several years ago, and fleeting appearances of a frightened girl who strongly resembled Cecily provide Nancy with plenty of opportunities to test her detective skills. Not afraid of dangerous situations and depressing events, the attentive young detective does not give up trying to solve both mysteries and reveal the amazing secrets of the Pudding Stone house.
