Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
The Mystery at Lilac Inn is the fourth volume in the Nancy Drew Mystery Stories series. It was first published in 1930 under the pseudonym Carolyn Keene. Mildred Wirt Benson was the ghostwriter of the 1930 edition. In 1961, Harriet Stratemeyer Adams extensively revised the novel, creating a completely different story. The original omitted the lead characters from much of the action, the titular inn was only a place where a crime was committed with minor investigatory follow-up, and a domestic help subplot was out of place in 1961. Ethnic slurs and opinions were removed. (This summary is from Wikipedia.)
