The Crooked Banister (Nancy Drew Mystery Stories) by Carolyn Keene
Card catalog description While helping the police find the owner of a mysterious house with a crooked staircase and an unpredictable robot, Nancy Drew, girl detective, also helps capture a swindler. Reader Reviews Complete Garbage, September 14, 2003 Reviewer: jtthiel from Nova Scotia, Canada Nancy investigates an oddly constructed house built by a man her father is investigating on charges of swindling numerous people. I read this book the first time when I was about ten years old and I loved it. I just reread it and thought that it was one of the worst books I've ever read. The summary at the beginning of the book makes it sound like it will a very interesting book, but it's not. The mystery is something anyone could have created, the house is not exciting, there is very little action and no suspence. In the end, Nancy can't even capture the owner of the house. I won't spoil the "exciting" ending, so let's just say that he is unavailable for capturing. It all made for a boring ending to a boring book. Boring! Boring! Boring!!! If you can't tell, I found this book to be boring, don't waste your time on it.
