Password to Larkspur Lane by Carolyn KeeneAs much as the title of the book suggests, the novel reveals a mystery that unfolds like a gossamer trail of violet-pink larkspur flowers…
It is said that if one wishes to attract butterflies and hummingbirds in a garden, one should plant oodles of larkspurs there. In this case however, the mystery walks over to Nancy encapsulated in a letter capsule being carried by a homing pigeon.
The letter is a typewritten note containing a puzzling code-line: “Bluebells are singing horses”.
The note leads Nancy and her crew to a hilltop house where live a granny and a grandpa, who report witnessing apparitional rings of blue fire outside their house, several times since the past few days.
As more clues are gathered, the pieces of the puzzle begin taking a form. The crystal garden in the hilltop house, waiting to be robbed by a sanitorium’s doctor-gang who take elderly women as their patients, offering flimflam promises to restore their beauty.
Disguising as a nurse, Nancy disentombs the gang’s whereabouts, rescuing the senior citizens, as well as collaring the thieves from getting inside grannie’s crystal garden and getting their hands on the glinting crystal pieces.
Buzzing with oodles of thrill, engrossing scenes, cinematic characters and all things flowers, the novel is yet another immersive read from the Nancy Drew-Carolyn Keene series!
