About Bad Times, Big Crimes by Carolyn Keene

Nancy Drew is sitting with Ned during a lecture when suddenly everything changes.

Nancy finds herself inside a city hall meeting set during the beginning of the Great Depression in the 1930s.

Ned is dressed in a three-piece suit, and everyone around them is dealing with the economic hardships and uncertainty of the period.

Then Nancy discovers that there is also a thief to catch.

Someone has been robbing local banks of the little money they still have.

The robberies create panic because people are already deeply worried about their savings.

With fear spreading through the community, almost anyone could become a suspect.

Nancy begins investigating the crimes and quickly develops a feeling that the situation may be more complicated than a straightforward series of bank robberies.

She must pay attention to the historical setting, understand the behaviour of the people around her, and work out who has both the motive and opportunity to steal the money.

The unusual setting gives this Nancy Drew mystery a distinctive atmosphere by combining detective fiction with a historical Great Depression scenario.
