Explanation Conducive To Books The Secret of Red Gate Farm (Nancy Drew Mystery Stories #6)

I don’t remember this one from my childhood, but I’m sure I must have read it. As an adult it is rather absurd, but as a kid looking for adventures, I’m sure it was exciting and suspenseful.

As an adult it is always easy to pick out features of children’s mystery books that help give away the clues and allow the reader to potentially solve the mystery on their own. Here we can see how the author makes it easy to pick out the “bad guys.” They are always described using words with negative connotations like rough, hard, penetrating eyes, or even outright hostile. The “good guys” are described using words with positive connotations such as sweet, personable, bright eyes, and warm. There is no wondering whether a character will be friend or foe, just see how they are described.

As a kid I’m sure all those scary and mean bad guys were thrilling to read about. No doubt, I imagined myself as Nancy, brave and fearless, always just out of harm’s reach. Now if only it were so easy today to detect the “bad guys.” Criminals have gotten much more savvy in their duplicitous methods. Don’t think I’ll be fooled by a ghost costume and nonsensical waving of arms! Yesterday you could have gotten me, but today I’m wiser after reading this Nancy Drew case.

A fast paced read, I was intrigued to see how all the various, albeit absurd, happenings would tie together in the end. Nancy was a childhood favorite and I just can’t bring myself to rate this less than 4 stars.

Judge About Books The Secret of Red Gate Farm (Nancy Drew Mystery Stories #6)
Nancy, Bess, and George save the day again (well, mostly Nancy). This time, they help a virtual stranger save their farm. Do you know three more "do-gooder" girls out there? Because I don't. This time, Bess buys some perfume and it kicks off a mystery. Nancy is approached on the train based on the perfume scent, which really confused me because I would never be able to identify a perfume on someone. Oh, is that sparkling waters you are wearing? No, not me. But some random dude can? Please, Miss

I hadn't read any books from this series in a while, but this was an enjoyable return to it.

I am having a blast re-reading these Nancy Drew books. They just make me smile and long for a simpler time. The mystery in this particular book was not very compelling, and the "cult" didn't really make any sense, but I still enjoyed it. I'm glad that Bess and George are finally in the books! I do wonder where Nancy's "dear friend" Helen disappeared to, though. We also got a brief mention of Ned Nickerson in book 5, but he was not mentioned in this one and we have yet to properly meet him. Good!

I enjoy Nancy Drew novels for a quick read. I enjoy reading how times have changed and how the way we speak is so different. This story moved pretty quickly and brought the several different incidents together nicely.

Enjoyed this book as a kid and enjoyed it again as an adult. Always enjoyed the adventures Nancy went on and how she grew with the addition of each new character she met. Will be fun to keep reading these classics.



This was the first Nancy Drew book that I listened to and I loved it! The narrator, Lara Linney, does a wonderful job and she needs to read more than just the first 7 Nancy Drew books. I laughed out loud many times. The story was fun, but because of the audio I bumped it up to 4 stars.
