Nancy's Mysterious Letter: Nancy Drew Mystery Story Eight

This is my least favorite of Nancy's mysteries. It is also the first book written by a man. Walter Karig wrote books Eight Through Ten (the other books are The Sign of the Twisted Candles and The Password to Larkspur Lane.)

The mysteries were mundane. The first involves a mail bag stolen when the mailman comes into Nancy's house for cocoa and leaves his bag out on the porch. His perfect record on the eve of his retirement is ruined. I don't really care. At best, he seems pretty careless to me.

The second mystery involves the letter of the title. Nancy receives a letter about an inheritance for a Nancy Smith Drew. She decides to try to find the missing heiress herself.  Can't the lawyers do this on their own?

Oh, and Ned's a college football hero. Meh.
