Looking through others' reviews, I definitely read an updated (though still “dated,” compared to today's standards!) text. The introduction of Rishi and Rai in this version was different than the earlier version, and I think it made more sense (in addition to being less problematic). From there, the story was engaging. There were, of course, some cringey bits . . . But that often comes with reading a book decades old! If you're reading with kids, those discrepancies can make for good discussion points. Overall I enjoyed the adventure, although it's perhaps not my favorite Nancy Drew so far. :)
