This book actually has a well put together mystery, but there are so many out of place Nancy moments it kind of sours the whole read. Only this particular Nancy author writes Nancy much more polite and demure than normal. She even addresses her father as "daddy". It's weird, and there is far too much emphasis on Nancy's relationship with young men. Girl is here to solve a mystery, not make out with men of questionable moral.
