Nancy, Bess, and George must find the truth behind a photographic mystery in this nineteenth book of the Nancy Drew Diaries, a fresh approach to the classic mystery series. Nancy and her friends are spending the weekend in a small mountainside town called Shady Oaks. The local museum is displaying a never-before-seen collection from famous nature photographer, Christopher DeSantos. So the usually sleepy town is now filled with tourists. But it’s not just the dramatic lighting of the old black and white photographs that people have come to see. Newspapers all over the country have picked up the story of two visitors who went missing in Shady Oaks only to turn up in the old DeSantos photographs, seemingly frozen in time. What’s more, there was a rumor that DeSantos was cursed by his former partner after a disagreement. Now everyone is wondering if the legend is real. Nancy, Bess, and George are convinced that there is another explanation to be found. But it quickly becomes clear that someone is making sure they don’t find it. Can these three teenage sleuths solve this mystery before it’s too late? Review: Great deal - Great book for a great price. Review: Great suspense - I bought this book for my daughter as the only books she likes to read are Nancy Drew. This was one of her favorites, she loved the suspense and couldn’t put the book down she’s not even an avid reader!

Cursed photographs? More of a bland storyline
I have to say that this edition of Nancy’s adventure wasn’t my favorite. Nancy has traveled to a small town ‘Shady Oaks” to investigate disappearances and what seems to be relating to one artist’s paintings. Nancy brought along her handy friends Bess and George, which in some cases I feel sad for them with how much they do for Nancy. Of course, in the end Nancy recognizes it but found that especially in this aspect of the writing that Nancy seemed to be a bit more pushy of a character than what I would have desired. Will Nancy be able to uncover the logical reasoning behind the cursed paintings? The writing in this edition wasn’t as smooth and the characters weren’t as rounded. I feel that I could have been alright without reading this storyline but it is enjoyable to see the varying sides of the Carolyn Keene writers. The ending of course came together nicely and made sense but the writer still find a way to make it a smidgen unpredictable which was a nice addition.
