When the town’s least favorite and most self-entitled family stands to inherit the entire Crowley fortune, leaving several deserving relatives out of the will entirely, Nancy Drew suspects there’s a more recent, as yet undiscovered, will.
With the help of her father, Nancy works to find the updated will—if indeed it exists at all! Meanwhile, who knew simple sleuthing could lead to such dangerous adventures? Flat tires, broken-down boats, closet entrapments, and more close calls than you could expect—none of this can stop Nancy Drew!
*Production note: Words have power. They can be used to help or to harm, to bless or to curse, to raise up or to beat down. Some of the words in the original 1930 print edition of this book were used unkindly. In this 2026 audio edition, those words have been changed.
Carolyn Keene is the pseudonym of the authors of the Nancy Drew mystery stories and the Dana Girls mystery stories, both produced by the Stratemeyer Syndicate. In addition, the Keene pen name is credited with the Nancy Drew spin-off, River Heights and the Nancy Drew Notebooks.
Angie Hickman has been in love with words for as long as she can remember. After earning her bachelor's degree in secondary English education, she expanded her passion for words through her work in libraries and bookstores and then went on to bring stories to life through audiobook narration.
