Another fun mystery has Nancy searching for some old music left behind by the deceased grandson of a very nice man taking care of the young girl left behind. Nancy finds herself doing everything in her power to help the family succeed and find the riches rightly owed to them by someone stealing the music from an old mysterious attic.

I especially enjoyed this one.
