【Book Comment】The Secret Of Red Gate Farm (Nancy Drew Mystery Stories # 6)

Blurb (from Goodreads):

When Bess Marvin purchased an expensive bottle of Oriental perfume, she never expected to stumble into a mystery. Now Bess, Nancy, George, and their new friend Jo are out to unravel the secrets of a mysterious conspiracy, a secretive cult, and a ring of counterfeiters in The Secret of Red Gate Farm.

Who would've thought that a perfume would lead to another adventure for Nancy and her friends? Then again, no one would actually know where and when a mystery would appear to her, right? Of course, her friends were right upon saying that mystery follows her everywhere. So for a detective, that's perhaps the case.

It's a re-read again as an addition to my Goodreads reading challenge. It's a good thing I'm done reading this now since the whole thing was quite tensed to me. Yes, I know it was written in the 30's (and yet I'm reading the 60's edition). But I've been imagining the scenes as though they happened in contemporary times. So yes, it might be a weird thing to think about. But I like it that way.

So it's counterfeiters this time, huh? I mean, people could really come up with such facade just to be able to operate like that. I like the set-up in which a simple act of helping out a new friend would lead to this. Of course, each moment unexpectedly lead to clues ― small ones, at first ― in which would later on connect to a larger and dangerous set-up for Nancy and her friends.

This one was probably more tensed than Mystery At Lilac Inn case. At least, that's what I think. I'm not sure why I was thinking of it that way. Or maybe because I could tell something really big was going on. Obviously, there was something there. Honestly, I would've appreciated it if Nancy doesn't get into too much trouble and getting captured like that. Then again, this wouldn't be a mystery story if it wasn't like that, right?

Okay, maybe I'm having some nonsense sentences here. This might not be much of a helpful comment, but I'm still putting it up here since I'm just glad I got to add another "done reading" on my Goodreads list and on my Reading Challenge.
