Nancy is on the fast track to find the the author of the little diary but is she going to find an innocent man or a man who in anger blew up the Raybolt's house. Everyone, including the authorities suspect that it was revenge, or maybe Felix did it himself to collect the insurance. There are many that have reason to harm Foxy Felix.

When I was very young and first found out that there was no Carolyn Keene, I felt the same as when I learned there was no Santa Claus or Easter Bunny. There are many websites detailing the changes over the years. There are no images for Carolyn Keene because Ghost writers have always written the books for the Stratemeyer Syndicate.
