SuitabookScent of danger
Leslie McFarlane
- Reading
- Enjoy it as a clue-following mystery: pause to compare the two missing-item cases and predict what Nancy might do when she faces danger.
- Themes
- Suspicion and evidence: A graduate student working at the zoo appears guilty in connection with the missing cats, but the story raises the possibility that he has been framed. The setup leaves room to question first impressions, but it does not establish how the story ultimately treats the suspect or what evidence resolves the case.
- Worth knowing
- Suspense includes vanished zoo animals, a character treated as a suspect, and Nancy walking into a trap. The extent or consequences of danger are unclear.
