I thought this was a good book and I wouldn't mind reading more of the books in this series. When I was younger, Nancy Drew books were my favorite. I loved reading the books that I've always and can't wait to read more of Nancy Drew's amazing mysteries.

I thought that "Without a trace" was a very thoughtful, but boring book. This book talks about a Faberge egg, an family heirloom has been stolen. Then, someone starts to squah all the zucchinis in town. I know, very weird. I thought the book was really boring because the thief was there all along and the zucchinis, well that was boring too. For all you know, it could have been an animal. There wasn't any action to make a mystery book exciting. Even though I love Nancy Drew books, this book is the worst in the series because the plot was down-right boring with no action at all. If I could improve this book, I would add a relationship between the thief and Nancy, to build up the intensity. I would also take out the zucchini part because it doesn't fit in the story. ( )

This book was an easy read, but kind of boring. ( )

I thought this was a fairly good start to yet another updated Nancy Drew series. All the familiar characters are here, from Nancy's housekeeper, Hannah Gruen, to her boyfriend, Ned Nickerson. The plot is fairly simple in this one; a Faberge egg has been stolen, and it's up to Nancy to figure out who did it. She does, of course, and while it wasn't really a complex mystery to me, I'm sure it will be a little less obvious to younger readers. ( )
