The Mardi Gras Mystery |
This page is currently under construction - please return in the future for further information. In the mean time, I have prepared a brief gallery of the covers of The Mardi Gras Mystery.
Synopsis (note: spoiler alert): During Mardi Gras, Nancy is confronted by a baffling theft. Nancy and her friends are the guests of "Bat" Seaton, a rich mystery man, whose son is a classmate of Ned's. Bat has been trying to buy a portrait of his late wife Danielle. When the painting is tolen, all the evidence points to Seaton. Then, a mystery woman who looks just like the dead Mrs. Seaton appears out of nowhere. What is her connection to all this? Nancy exposes an art forgery scam and uncovers Danielle's terrible last secret.
Note: This is not the same story as Mardi Gras Masquerade, the 28th book in the Nancy Drew, Girl Detective series, which does not take place in New Orleans but rather is set back in River Heights.
This book was adapted by Her Interactive as the computer game The Legend of the Crystal Skull.
Their teaser: Bruno Bolet was the proud owner of the "Whisperer," a crystal skull rumored to protect its holder from almost any cause of death - except murder. When Bruno passed away, his nephew Henry came to wrap up his affairs, but he couldn't find the skull among the clutter of the creepy Bolet manor. You'll need to team up with Nancy's best friend Bess Marvin to find this mystical artifact before it falls into the wrong hands!
