Part of the Mavenhill Classics series, this annotated edition of The Mystery at Lilac Inn presents the fourth Nancy Drew mystery as it was originally published in 1930, accompanied by a contemporary foreword and structured summary notes. A theft at a fashionable country inn draws Nancy Drew into a case shaped by suspicion and social performance. As rumors circulate and blame shifts, Nancy begins to see patterns beneath the surface, recognizing deliberate misdirection where others accept coincidence.
