When Nancy Drew and her friends arrive at Misty Lake, they meet pretty, red-haired Cecily Curtis, who seeks Nancy’s help in solving two mysteries. One concerns Cecily’s fiancé, Niko Van Dyke, a popular singer who believes that his record company is cheating him of royalty payments. The other invovles a family treasure hidden before the start of the Civil War; Cecily’s only clue is half of a gold locket. Nancy’s investigations lead her to Pudding Stone Lodge, where the sinister Driscoll family lives. Strange coincidences give Nancy plenty of opportunity to test her sleuthing skills. Braving a series of dangerous situations and discouraging developments, the alert young detective perseveres in her attempts to solve both mysteries and reveal the astounding secrets of Pudding Stone Lodge.

"It’s not good. Super boring and slow. A lot of nothing happens. They rush through everything and there’s really not much of a mystery going on. Seems like a filler book. Even the title is misleading. The locket plays such a small role in the story. Should have been called “The Clue of the Phantom Launch”, or “The Clue of the Iron Bird”. Then there’s a huge awkward exposition dump at the end where I guess I’m supposed to think “oh that’s what’s going on?”, but instead it just comes off cringy. There’s one point where the narrative leaves Nancy’s point of view, which I don’t think I’ve ever read before, so that’s new. Must be another author change up. "
