Summary: The Haunted Showboat
Review: Nancy, Bess and George go to New Orleans at Mardi Gras time to solve a mystery concerning a haunted showboat and the strange occurances onboard the ship. The mystery must be solved by Mardi Gras time so that Bess and George's aunt and uncle can use the showboat for a ball they are planning to have. Personally, I didn't find this book to be very good; although, it is not really bad. There isn't much action in the book and the mystery isn't overly exciting. In fact, by the time you get through the silly shenanigans concerning the girls being chased on their way to New Orleans by a man who stole Nancy's old car and the obligatory tour guide through New Orleans and actually get into the mystery, the book is already 1/3 over. Some fans may like this book, but I didn't really care much for it and it's not one that I'd highly recommend.

Review: The Haunted Showboat has been the best book I have ever read. The setting is so classic, the mystery is so chilling, and the characters are somewhat unique. It just happened to be that we were driving to Washington when I was reading this, and every now and then when I'd get bored, I'd just pick this up and enjoy myself. When we were passing by the Columbia Gorge, we traveled across it and I just read the book and once in a while I looked at the scenery. It just gave me this special feeling that made me feel really relaxed. And when we were in our apartment, I would sometimes read that book instead of watching TV! So, from what you've heard here, I would definitely recommend that you don't miss this one.

Review: The Haunted Showboat is the greatest Nancy Drew. It keeps you on the edge and you really feel like you are Nancy Drew at times. George, Bess, Burt, Dave, and of course Ned help Nancy solve The Haunted Showboat.

Summary: You Especially Have to Read this One at Mardi Gras Time!!
Review: What a chilling way to look at Mardi Gras in the Deep South! Nancy and her pals, Bess and George, are off on another adventure - this time to the river and bayou country near the Big Easy! Nancy and her friends solve an old family mystery while trying to end a lovers quarrel while trying to find a fortune in buried treasure. Having grown-up near New Orleans as a child, and visiting there for over 35 years, I can say that the majority of this book is true to life. It gives the reader a charming glimpse into the excitement of Mardi Gras and the relaxed ease of the river plantation life where unfortunately many things are "gone with the wind". Le Bon Temps Rolle (That's New Orleans talk for "Let the Good Times Roll!"
