After reading the 4th ND mystery, I have a new hashtag: #macgyvermaven. Since this book involves many intense scenes in water, of course Nancy just completed her certificate in skin-diving. She always has the right props and tools to get out of her scrapes, which are many and much scarier in this version. She's also now 18 and titian-haired, which might explain her dad's hand-offish attitude in this novel. Overall, another fun and riveting read. ( )

A school assignment had me do a dive into a Nancy Drew mystery....I hadn't read them in YEARS. While they don't hold the spark they once did, I am reminded of why they are a good mystery for readers who like the genre. They are clean, not scary, short and sweet.

Why do I love this one so much? It involves lilac flowers and diamonds. I remember as a young girl loving the feminine story ( )

This was on the sale shelf at the library, and I have fond memories of reading Nancy Drew when I was younger. This didn't seem like a typical Nancy Drew book though--no Bess or George--instead we have a friend named Helen and another friend named Emily. No Ned Nickerson.

I wasn't quite sure what to think. ( )
