Joanne lives at Red Gate Farm with her grandmother, but if they do not raise enough money to pay the mortgage, they will soon lose the farm! Nancy, Bess, and George decide to stay at Red Gate for a week as paying customers. Soon, they learn about the strange group of people who rent a cave on the property. They describe themselves as a nature cult called the Black Snake Colony. Nancy investigates their group and helps to uncover a ring of counterfeiters in town!

From AudioFile

Nancy Drew fans will enjoy meeting old chums: tomboy Georgeand timid Bess; Nancy's supportive dad, Carson Drew; and of course,the clever sleuth, Nancy, herself. Added to the mix this time are anew friend whose grandmother is about to lose her farm,money-laundering thugs, and a mysterious cult. For those who canoverlook corny clichés, annoying adverbs, and stereotypicalcharacters, this book has a well-structured, suspenseful plot withlots of twists and turns and enough danger to keep young readersshivering. Background music, done to good effect, adds the feeling ofan old-fashioned radio drama. Reader Laura Linney seems made toorder. With an expressive, well-modulated voice, she keeps the pacelively and maintains just the right balance between narration anddramatization.

Carolyn Keene and Franklin W. Dixon are the pseudonyms under which many ghostwriters penned the Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys series, respectively. Both series were created by Edward Stratemeyer, founder of the Stratemeyer Syndicate book packaging firm, in the late 1920s and early 1930s.

Stratemeyer's daughter, Harriet, and syndicate writer Mildred Wirt Benson were the two people primarily responsible for bringing the iconic character of Nancy Drew to life in the minds and hearts of millions of readers around the world.

Rich vocabulary and a dauntless heroine

Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2021

Verified Purchase

The Secret of Red Gate Farm is a classic Nancy Drew mystery. I am reading alternating pages of the Nancy Drew books with my granddaughter. This book, like others in the series, employs language that precisely and concisely describes the action, scene, or mood. The richness of the vocabulary distinguishes the Nancy Drew series from competitors. The dauntless spirit of Nancy inspires action, courage, and leadership, especially in girls.

I bought it for my niece since she enjoys reading. She really liked it. I prefer hard cover books so that they don’t get ruined as fast

Another great adventure

I read these as a child, and they are still satisfying today. Nancy Drew gets the bad guys, and helps people in other ways, too. This one takes place at a farm and involves a mysterious cult.

Being a Good Detective

Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2013

I am reading these mystery books again with my granddaughter and it is really a fun thing to do. Brings me back to my childhood, keeps me close to Angela, and rekindles my desire to keep up my detective mind in a world gone mad. I love these books. Being a good detective is critical in daily life and I think these books are good for children to learn how to be a good detective. It is great for them to learn this at a young age to protect themselves from evil and bad people and learn how to solve their problems.

The story line and characterizations have held up over the years. Some other titles, not so much, but overall this one was easy to read and enjoy again.

Nancy Drew - Book 6

Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2013

Verified Purchase

I have read and loved all the Nancy Drew books, when I was a very young girl and now I'm collecting the series for my granddaughter, who is 7yrs old - so she, too, might enjoy reading them - and share something of the past with me. The books are new but the stories haven't changed much in the past 60 years - and they are truly ageless!

Another Interesting Adventure for Nancy Drew!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 4, 2014

Verified Purchase

As an adult re-reading these mysteries 30 odd years later, I still find them so enjoyable and The Secret of Red Gate Farm is no exception. I was amazed by where this story led and in particular I didn't see the solution to mystery until the end!

A good addition.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 8, 2015

Verified Purchase

Not the best Nancy Drew mystery but moved along at a fast pace with one of the more far-fetched plots. I always prefer the books with Bess and George so that was a plus.

Good, but not our favourite

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 28, 2014

This Nancy Drew is a good story, but ends up being a bit far-fetched. Still, if you are working your way through the books, this isn't too bad a read.
