Lights, Camera...

by Carolyn Keene

Book Overview

I'm a detective, not an actor, so who would think I'd be involved in a crime both offscreen and on? A producer has come to River Heights to film a reenactment of the heist that gave our town it's name, and he thinks I'm perfect for the part of Esther, the sister of the thieving Rackham boys. So I figure, why not give it a try?
But once the cameras start rolling, the trouble begins. Food poisoning. Broken generators. And worse If I don't sniff out some suspects soon, this might be my final act

Customer Reviews

Interesting setting and story!

Carolyn Keene takes her young readers on a trip behind the cameras, as our favorite girl detective becomes the star of a movie! It seems that somebody just doesn't want this film to be made. Could all these problems interrupting the production possibly be accidents? With Nancy Drew around, the truth will ultimately come out!

Carolyn Keene Figures It Out

Nancy Drew was asked to be in a movie about a crime she had solved in the past. During the making of the movie a series of unfortunate events occurred. So this book explains how Nancy Drew put all the clues together to explain the events that happend. Personally, I liked the fact that the book kept you thinking on who the criminal(s) might be. What I did not particularly like was the irritating way that the problems kept happening one after the other. Nancy Drew is my favorite character in the book. She is very intelligent and uses her brains to figure out all the problems. What made me like her was that in one part of the book it says, "At first everyone thought it was part of the movie,but I recognized Chief McGinnis's voice." I think it takes a good detective to recognize those kind of things. If you like mystery and a constantly changing story, then this book is a good choice for you. After reading the book, I would wonder why some people commit silly crimes. This is a great book. It is one of those books that has all of the elements of a good mystery book. It is easy to read, keeps you guessing and can be enjoyed by all ages of people that like a good mystery.

A Great Book!

The mystery is thrilling, and if you buy this book, you definitely need to buy it's sequel: Action!
