Review: An Old Mystery
Rating: 2 out of 5

This reminded me a little bit of Nancy Drew, although I have never read the books I have heard some of the stories.This is a mystery novella about a teenaged girl named Leslie, who is staying in a beach house with her sick aunt for the autumn in hopes her aunt gets better.Leslie meets a girl her age and one day her dog digs up a mysterious treasure that sets the story in motion.I felt the story went slow. The characters didn't sound real, it was as if they were created just to further the plot which was a bit dull.I am not into detective fiction so this book was different then what I normally read. Note that it was written 100 years ago and there was mention of "heathen Chinese" but other then that it was an okay book...just not very interesting.
