Judy graduates from high school, Peter becomes a lawyer and then an FBI agent (or possibly the other way 'round; I don't remember for sure); various characters get married as the series progresses, including Judy and Peter, eventually. It made the characters more believable and realistic, even when the mysteries were a little far-fetched.Lark @ The Bookwyrm's Hoardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08639732368395025578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5782277794223039496.post-10172460232096806692018-06-03T20:31:41.779-07:002018-06-03T20:31:41.779-07:00I bought several of the Judy Bolton books years ag...I bought several of the Judy Bolton books years ago, but I never got around to reading them.

In this case, I found out lilacs are also called blue bells. <br /><br />Helen and her husband show up much later in the series.

Turner Classic Movies just played a bunch of the Nancy Drew movies from the 1930s and Nancy Drew, Detective is based on this story which made me very happy!Katherine Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12126062556416434416noreply@blogger.com
