From School Library Journal
Grade 3-6--When Nancy Drew and her friend visit Lilac Inn, mysterious events occur that seem to indicate that Nancy's presence is unwanted there and the Inn may be haunted. After her friend's diamond jewelry is stolen, Nancy must try to solve the mysteries and recover the jewels. Actress Laura Linney briskly narrates this original Nancy Drew mystery by Carolyn Keene. Her expressive and crisp rendering of the tale is occasionally too fast, requiring that listeners pay close attention, especially during descriptive passages. Although the material is dated, such as when a telephone switchboard is mentioned and a character wears an "aqua organdy dress," listeners will still have fun trying to solve the mystery on their own from the clues provided before the conclusion of the book. Orchestral music in the background, lush with string instruments, adds to the moments of peril within the narrative.--B. Allison Gray, John Jermain Memorial Library, Sag Harbor, NY

As Nancy's friend Emily prepares for her wedding, Nancy andHelen visit her at Lilac Inn. Before long, a weekend of scuba divingand wedding planning turns into disaster as Emily's heirloom diamondsare stolen, as is Nancy's identity, by a larcenous doppelgänger.Laura Linney does an admirable job reading this 1930 mystery, althoughshe's not completely believable as a young woman of 1930--even onewith the tenacity and spunk of Nancy Drew. Further, her pace seemsrushed. Nevertheless, the story is a good one, filled with surprisinglore about lilacs, and the action is punctuated by mood music andsound effects.

Reader Reviews
This review is from: The Mystery at Lilac Inn (Nancy Drew, Book 4) (Hardcover)
I love the original versions of the books in this series that Applewood Publishing has been printing. If you are a Mother who read the series, these make excellent books for your daughters who love to read and like a good mystery!The illustrations are great.The dialogue is dated, but only leads to the charm of these books.The true author's name was Mildred Wirt Benson, a ghost writer from the MidWest.She was the first graduate of journalism from the University of Iowa.She writes an introduction to this book that is worth the price of the book alone!Not my favorite in the series, but it still evokes the spirit of the 30's and the fun I had curling up and devouring these books on a rainy weekend afternoon.
