Nancy Drew Mystery Stories #56: The Thirteenth Pearl

In which Nancy meddles, Japanese people help out, (the book shows its un-PC roots,) cultists go nuts, and Ned whines.

Let's all go to Japan! )

Yes, that mobster's nicknames should have quotation marks. And when I read the title of this book, I instantly remembered reading it when I was 10. Funny thing, one of my classes studied both China and Japan so I knew the culture stuff was way off, even when I was 10.

Yeah, even without knowing that much about Japanese culture, a lot of the stuff mentioned just seemed way off lol.

XD These recaps are made of win. I haven't read this book, but it sounds very entertaining.

[T]he mob guy is referred to as Benny the Slippery One Caputti.
Maybe 'The Slippery One' is his middle name. ;)
